Notice of Inventory Completion:
Oregon State Museum of
Anthropology, University of Oregon,
Eugene, Oregon and U.S. Department
of the Interior, National Park Service,
Whitman Mission National Historic
Site, Walla Walla, WA
AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, Sec. 5, of
the completion of an inventory of
human remains in the possession of
Oregon State Museum of Anthropology,
University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon
and in the control of U.S. Department of
the Interior, National Park Service,
Whitman Mission National Historic
PO 00000 Frm 00075 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703
Site, Walla Walla, WA. These human
remains were removed from a burial site
at Whitman Mission National Historic
Site.
This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25
U.S.C. 3003, Sec. 5 (d)(3). The
determinations within this notice are
the sole responsibility of the National
Park unit that has control of these
Native American human remains. The
Manager, National NAGPRA Program is
not responsible for the determinations
within this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by National Park
Service and Oregon State Museum of
Anthropology professional staff and an
expert on aboriginal burial practices in
the Plateau culture area of North
America in consultation with
representatives of the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation,
Oregon.
In October 1960, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from a burial
at Whitman Mission National Historic
Site in Walla Walla, Washington during
legally authorized excavations by NPS
archeologist Paul Schumacher. The
human skeletal remains had been in a
flexed position and were thought to be
the remains of a Native American. They
were removed from the burial site at
Whitman Mission and delivered to
University of Oregon where they were
inspected and described by David L.
Cole in November 1960. The skeletal
remains were confirmed to be those of
a Native American woman who had
been between 50 and 60 years of age at
the time of death. No known individuals
were identified. No funerary objects are
present. To honor the request of the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Reservation, Oregon these human
remains continue to be in the possession
of the Oregon State Museum of
Anthropology, University of Oregon.
All available documentation on the
human remains from the NPS, including
an archival photograph of the skeletal
remains in situ, and from the University
of Oregon was submitted to Professor
Roderick Sprague, an expert on
aboriginal burial practices in the Plateau
culture area of North America with over
40 years of professional experience, for
his review and assessment. On the basis
of both the flexed position of the burial
and the absence of grave goods, Dr.
Sprague concluded that this set of
human remains dates to the
protohistoric period of from A.D. 1700–
1800.
Whitman Mission National Historic
Site commemorates the history of a

mission established by Marcus and
Narcissa Whitman in the 1830s on land
that was primarily occupied by Cayuse
Indians at the time. The site of the
mission settlement is widely recognized
as having been part of a larger aboriginal
Cayuse territory and is within the
judicially established area that is
officially recognized as the Cayuse
homeland. Immediately to the west of
the Cayuse territory was the aboriginal
homeland of the Walla Walla tribe. To
the west of the Cayuse and southwest of
the Walla Walla was the recognized
aboriginal homeland of the Umatilla
tribe. The Cayuse, the Walla Walla and
the Umatilla are all constituent tribes of
the present-day Confederated Tribes of
the Umatilla Reservation, Oregon.
Officials of Whitman Mission
National Historic Site have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001, Sec. 2
(9-10), the human remains listed above
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
Lastly, officials of Whitman Mission
National Historic Site have determined
that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001, Sec. 2
(2), there is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between these Native American
human remains and the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation,
Oregon.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with these human remains
should contact Superintendent Francis
T. Darby, Whitman Mission National
Historic Site, 328 Whitman Mission
Road, Walla Walla, Washington 99362-
9699, telephone (509) 522-6360, before
December 9, 2002. Repatriation of these
human remains to the Confederated
Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation,
Oregon may begin after that date if no
additional claimants come forward.
Whitman Mission National Historic
Site is responsible for notifying the
Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla
Reservation, Oregon that this notice has
been published.
