Tribes, Snoqualmoo Tribe, and 

Wanapum Band, also had a close 

association with Fort Vancouver. 

Church burial records indicate that the 

ancestors of the above-mentioned tribes 

were all buried at Fort Vancouver. In 

addition, many of these cultures 

practiced intentional cranial 

modification, as seen in the human 

remains described in this notice. Based 

on the morphology of the human 

remains, provenience, ethnographic and 

historical records, officials of the Burke 

Museum reasonably believe that these 

tribes are associated with the Native 

American human remains. 

Officials of the Burke Museum have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001 (9–10), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of the 

Burke Museum also have determined 

that, 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 the Confederated Tribes 

and Bands of the Yakama Nation, 

Washington; Confederated Tribes of the 

Chehalis Reservation, Washington; 

Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde 

Community of Oregon; Confederated 

Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon; 

Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla 

Indian Reservation, Oregon; 

Confederated Tribes of the Warm 

Springs Reservation of Oregon; Cowlitz 

Indian Tribe, Washington; Muckleshoot 

Indian Tribe of the Muckleshoot Indian 

Reservation, Washington; Nisqually 

Indian Tribe of the Nisqually 

Reservation, Washington; Snoqualmie 

Tribe, Washington; Spokane Tribe of the 

Spokane Reservation, Washington; and 

Stillaguamish Tribe of Washington. 

Furthermore, officials of the Burke 

Museum have determined there is a 

cultural relationship between the 

human remains and three non-Federally 

recognized Indian groups - the ClatsopNehalem Confederated Tribes, 

Snoqualmoo Tribe, and Wanapum 

Band. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the human remains 

should contact Dr. Peter Lape, Burke 

Museum, University of Washington, Box 

353010, Seattle, WA 98195–3010, 

telephone (206) 685–2282, before 

August 6, 2009. Repatriation of the 

human remains to the Confederated 

Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, 

Washington; Confederated Tribes of the 

Chehalis Reservation, Washington; 

Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde 

Community of Oregon; Confederated 

Tribes of the Siletz Reservation, Oregon;

three non-Federally recognized Indian 

groups - the Clatsop-Nehalem 

Confederated Tribes, Snoqualmoo Tribe, 

and Wanapum Band, may proceed after 

that date if no additional claimants 

come forward. 

The Burke Museum is responsible for 

notifying the Confederated Tribes and 

Bands of the Yakama Nation, 

Washington; Confederated Tribes of the 

Chehalis Reservation, Washington;

in the control of the U.S. Department of 

Defense, Army Corps of Engineers, 

Sacramento District, Sacramento, CA, 

and in the physical custody of the 

Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of 

Anthropology, University of California, 

Berkeley, Berkeley, CA. The human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were removed from Fresno County, CA. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations 

in this notice are the sole responsibility 

of the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects. The

for the determinations in this notice. 

An assessment of the human remains, 

and catalog records and associated 

documents relevant to the human 

remains, was made by Army Corps of 

Engineers, Sacramento Division 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Big Sandy 

Rancheria of Mono Indians of 

California; Cold Springs Rancheria of

Band of Me-Wuk Indians of the 

Tuolumne Rancheria of California. 

Human remains representing a 

minimum of one individual removed 

from site CA–Fre–27 were described in 

a Notice of Inventory Completion 

previously published in the Federal 

Register (70 FR 1267–1268, January 6, 

2005). After publication of the notice, 

the officials of the Army Corps of 

Engineers, Sacramento District 

conducted a further review of the 

evidence, and found cultural affiliation 

for the remaining four individuals that 

had been previously determined to be 

culturally unidentifiable. 

In 1948, human remains were 

removed from site CA–Fre–27, Fresno 

County, CA, by F. Fenenga and F.A. 

Riddell, University of California 

Archaeological Survey, and transferred 

to the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of 

Anthropology that same year. No known 

individuals were identified. The three 

associated funerary objects are one 

knife/axe, one point tip, and one nonhuman bone awl. 

The human remains are determined to 

be Native American. Site CA–Fre–27 is 

a habitation site located on the east bank 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 128 / Tuesday, July 7, 2009 / Notices 32189 

of the Kings River within the current 

impoundment boundaries of the Pine 

Flat Reservoir. Characteristics of 

material culture, including steatite 

beads, brownware ceramics, and 

historic glass trade beads, indicate that 

the site was inhabited post- A.D. 1500. 

The site is within the historic territory 

of the Big Sandy Rancheria of Mono 

Indians of California; Cold Springs 

Rancheria of Mono Indians of 

California; Northfork Rancheria of Mono 

Indians of California; Picayune 

Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians of

Officials of the Army Corps of 

Engineers, Sacramento District have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001 (9–10), the human remains 

described above represent the physical 

remains of four individuals of Native 

American ancestry. Officials of the 

Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento 

District also have determined that, 

pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the 

three objects described above are 

reasonably believed to have been placed 

with or near individual human remains 

at the time of death or later as part of 

the death rite or ceremony. Lastly, 

officials of the Army Corps of Engineers, 

Sacramento District have determined 

that, 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 

and the Big Sandy Rancheria of Mono
