Ancestral remains to be returned to tribes Celebrate Billy Chinook The Lake Billy Chinook Day 30th anniversary celebration will be held Saturday, October 8, 1994 at the Cove Palisades State Park in Culver. Opening ceremonies will start the day at 9 a.m. Lake Clean-up will begin at 10 a.m. Special events will include: Lake and Beach Clean-up Interpretive and Historical Programs Cultural and Scenic Displays Sponsor Booths Food Concessions ; Sponsoring organizations are: Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, US Forest ServiceNational Grasslands, Bureau of Land Management, Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Oregon State Marine Board, Portland General Electric, SeaSwirl, Madras Sanitation, SOLV, Les Schwab, Madras Rotary Club and Boy Scouts of America The National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) intends to repatri ate the human remains and associ ated funerary objects in their collec tions from Upper and Lower Memaloose Islands and four other collection sites in the middle Co lumbia region to the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and the Yakama Nation. The tribes accept joint responsibility for the deaccession and disposition of these collections, which are to be tempo rarily housed at an Army Corps fa cility on the Columbia River upon removal from the Smithsonian. The return of the these remains and arti facts is scheduled to occur in No vember or December of this year. The remains and objects from Lower Memaloose Island were ex cavated by Herbert Krieger of the US National Museum in 1934 in advance of Bonneville Dam construction. The collection from this island consists of the partial remains of 123 indi viduals (52 catalogue numbers), and a variety of artifacts of both Euro pean and native manufacture inter preted as associated funerary objects on the basis of origin (164 catalogue numbers). The remains from Upper Memaloose Island, comprising 14 crania, were obtained by the Fred Harvey Company and sold to the Smithsonian in 1903. The remains from both Upper and Lower Memaloose Islands were re covered from mixed, multiple burial contexts suggesting their original interment in enamel houses. All 29 crania from Lower Memaloose ex hibit some form of modification in volving anterior and posterior flat tening of the skull, while nine of the 14 crania from Upper Memaloose were intentionally re-shaped. The majority of the evidence suggests that the remains from Lower Memaloose are culturally affiliated with the White Salmon, Wishram, or Wasco bands of the Upper Chinookan peoples, while those from Upper Memaloose were most likely affili ated with Wishram, Wasco or Tenino. The three sets of remains from the October 11, 1994 A 14 week course, once a week 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. for the independent, self employed, owneroperator & entrepreneur If interested, contact the Small Business Center at 553-3593 or stop in at 21 07 Wasco Street. Tribes voluntarily close commercial season Officials of the four Columbia River treaty tribes decided Septem ber IS not to extend their commer cial fishing season in Zone 6 of the Columbia River. The impetus for the decision was a September 8-10 tribal fishery that caught more than twice the projected catch of Chinook. In that fishery, tribal members caught more of the Endangered Species act-listed Snake River fall Chinook than biologists had expected. Under an arrangement worked out during federal court proceedings in August, the tribes' commercial fish ery was allowed to go forward as long as the take of wild Snake River fall Chinook did not exceed 48 spawner equivalents (the number of fish that are expected to pass Lower Granite Dam). After the end of two fishing periods an August 29 to September 3 season and the Sep tember 8 to 10 season the harvest of wild Snake River fall Chinook totaled 43 spawners. Having caught most of the allot ted Snake River fish earlier than ex pected, the tribes voluntarily closed their commercial season, thus al lowing subsistence and ceremonial fishing to continue until the 48-spawner Quota is reached. So far, the tribal Zone 6 harvest is estimated at 27, 1 90 fall Chinook and 7,720 steelhead. The tribes had pro jected that member wouldcatch about 32,500 fall Chinook before reaching the limit on wild Snake River fall Chinook. The tribal fishery in Zone 6, a 140-mile stretch of nver between Bonneville and McNary dams, is aimed at fall Chinook stocks other than those returning to the Snake River. Of an estimated 160,000 opriver fall Chinook entering the Columbia River this year, only about 800 were of Snake River wild originJ Cascades were collected in 1 849 by a member of a US military expedition and donated to the Smithsonian in 1 86 1 . The accession records identify two of the individuals as Watlala and the other as Klickitat Another cra nium was reportedly recovered from "Dead Island" in the Columbia River by a member of the Wilkes Expedi tion in 1841. The preponderance of the evidence suggests cultural affili ation with an Upper Chinookan group. The single cranium recovered in the vicinity of The Dalles was collected in 1 878 by a member of the Wheeler Expedition and accessioned into the museum the following year. The available evidence is not con clusive and it is equally possible that this individual was affiliated with a local Sahaptin group or a Shoshonean group from further south. The final set of remains are those of an adult male exhibiting a bullet wound to the head recovered in the Prineville Res ervoir by the River Basin Survey in 1948. The preponderance of the evidence indicates cultural affilia tion with on of the Upper Chinookan tribes. Human remains and funerary ob jects are offered for return under the National Museum of the American Indian Act, 20 USC Section 801 (Public Law 101-185). Notification of the findings of the NMNH Repa triation Office with regard to this collection of human remains was sent to all potentially affected tribes ion Washing and Oregon in September 1993. Representatives of any other Native American groups wishing to express an interest in these remains should contact Dr. TamaraL. Bray at : the Repatriation Office of the Na tional Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, 10th and Constitution Ave, Washington, DC 20560; telephone (202) 357-2257, before October 28, 1994.
