History and Description of the Remains 

In 1986, human remains representing, 

at minimum, two individuals, were 

delivered to the offices of the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla 

District, by an unknown individual. 

Notes with the collection stated that one 

set of human remains had been removed 

from the Klamath Lake area in Oregon 

and the other from western Montana. It 

is not known which set of human 

remains was from which area. In 2001, 

the human remains were turned over to 

the Museum of Anthropology at 

Washington State University. No known 

individuals were identified. The two 

associated funerary objects include 1 

metal cup and 1 lot of fabric. Cultural 

affiliation for these remains was based 

primarily on the geographical locations 

of removal. In addition, the character of 

the associated funerary objects is very 

similar to funerary objects often 

associated with historic Native 

American burials in the interior 

northwest. 

Determinations Made by the Museum of 

Anthropology at Washington State 

University 

Officials of the Museum of 

Anthropology at Washington State 

University have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of 2 

individuals of Native American 

ancestry. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the 2 objects described in this notice are 

reasonably believed to have been placed

the death rite or ceremony. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the Native American human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

is to the Confederated Salish and 

Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead 

Reservation; Klamath Tribes; and the Pit 

River Tribe, California (includes XL 

Ranch, Big Bend, Likely, Lookout, 

Montgomery Creek and Roaring Creek 

Rancherias).

of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian

History and Description of the Remains 

On October 21, 1981, human remains

individuals were removed from a 

residence in the Village of Lyons, Ionia 

County, MI. The homeowner discovered 

the human remains while digging a

complaint number 13–3138–81, and 

took possession of the remains and 

transferred them to Michigan State 

University (MSU), Anthropology

determined the remains belonged to at 

least three different adult Native 

Americans. The human remains were 

returned to MSP 64 in June 2013. No 

known individuals were identified. No 

associated funeral objects are present. 

On October 14, 1971, human remains 

representing what was determined to be 

one adult male individual were 

removed from a gravel pit in the 

southwest quarter of Section #25, 

Bethany Township, Gratiot County, MI. 

MSP took possession of the remains, 

complaint number 14–1865–71, and 

transferred them to MSU for analysis. 

MSU determined the remains belonged 

to one adult male Native American. The 

human remains were returned to MSP 

64 in June 2013. No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funeral 

objects are present.
