The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. 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: • The human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of two individuals of Native American ancestry. • 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. *Authority:* Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, 25 U.S.C. 3003, and the implementing regulations, 43 CFR 10.10.
