Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available, human remains representing, at
least, two individuals have been reasonably identified. In 1978, the
human remains were removed from the Cholick site (35MU1), possibly by
Bob Morrow. They were housed at OHSU's School of Dentistry until 2001,
when they were transferred to the university's Historical Collections &
Archives Medical Museum Collection.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation is clearly identified by the information available
about the human remains described in this notice.
Determinations
OHSU has determined that:
<bullet> The human remains described in this notice represent the
physical remains of two individuals of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> There is a reasonable connection between the human remains
and associated funerary objects described in this notice and the
Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation; Confederated Tribes
of Siletz Indians of Oregon; Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde
Community of Oregon; Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation; and the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs
Reservation of Oregon.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the human remains in this
notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified in this
notice under ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.
2. Any lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice who shows, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that the requestor is a lineal
descendant or a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
Repatriation of the human remains in this notice to a requestor may
occur on or after July 3, 2024. If competing requests for repatriation
are received, OHSU must determine the most appropriate requestor prior
to repatriation. Requests for joint repatriation of the human remains
are considered a single request and not competing requests. OHSU is
responsible for sending a copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes and
Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this notice.
