Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Western
Washington University, Department of
Anthropology professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Swinomish Indian Tribal Community
[previously listed as the Swinomish
Indians of the Swinomish Reservation of
Washington].
History and Description of the Remains
On May 7, 1960, human remains
representing, at minimum, three
individuals were removed from site 45–
SK–37 in Skagit County, WA, by faculty
member Herbert C. Taylor. Taylor was
supervising a field school excavation for
Western Washington State College, now
known as Western Washington
University. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The human remains have been
determined to be Native American
based on ethnographic, geographic, and
archeological evidence. Suttles and
Lane’s ethnography of the Southern
Coast Salish is particularly relevant, as
it contains a map featuring some of the
larger villages in the region (Suttles and
Lane, 1990: Figure 1). Comparison of the
location of site 45–SK–37 with Suttles
and Lane’s map indicates that it is in an
area associated with Nookachamps,
Kikiallus, and Swinomish. Many
descendants of these cultural entities
are today associated with the
Swinomish Indian Tribal Community
[previously listed as the Swinomish
Indians of the Swinomish Reservation of
Washington].
Determinations Made by Western
Washington University, Department of
Anthropology
Officials of Western Washington
University, Department of Anthropology
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of three
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• 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 Swinomish Indian
Tribal Community [previously listed as
the Swinomish Indians of the
Swinomish Reservation of Washington].
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains should submit
a written request with information in
support of the request to Dr. Sarah
Campbell, Western Washington
University, Department of
Anthropology, Arntzen Hall 315, 516
High Street, Bellingham, WA 98225,
telephone (360) 650–4793, email
campbsk@wwu.edu, by May 23, 2022.
After that date, if no additional
requestors have come forward, transfer
of control of the human remains to the
Swinomish Indian Tribal Community
[previously listed as the Swinomish
Indians of the Swinomish Reservation of
Washington] may proceed.
The Western Washington University,
Department of Anthropology is
responsible for notifying the Swinomish
Indian Tribal Community [previously
