Ancestral remains reburied at PA site BY JEREMY SCHWARTZ PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — The remains of a native woman who likely lived on the North Olympic Peninsula centuries ago have been returned to the earth. Lower Elwha Klallam tribal members met under rainy skies Sept. 28 to inter the remains at the tribe’s Tse-whit-zen site
along Marine Drive, the historic location of one of the largest prehistoric Klallam villages on the Peninsula. “It was a funeral service that day,” said Frances Charles, chairwoman of the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe. After 73 years in the collection of the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle, the remains, found
somewhere on the Olympic Peninsula in the 1920s, were given to the tribe earlier this summer. The return was in concordance with the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, said Megon Noble, assistant archaeology collections manager/repatriation act coordinator for the Burke Museum. Noble said Burke Museum
researchers consulted with the Olympic Peninsula’s native tribes on which one should take possession of the remains because the woman’s tribal affiliation could not be determined. After discussions among tribal representatives, Noble said the Lower Elwha Klallam ultimately took the remains. “I was so glad the tribes worked together in a really nice
way, and I was glad were able to facilitate that,” Noble said. Bill White, Lower Elwha Klallam archaeologist, said the woman likely was between 28 and 35 years old when she died. The woman was positively identified as Native American by her skull, which had telltale signs of artificial flattening at the back, White explained. TURN

Neither the driver, who is 81, nor the passenger, 89 — who weren’t publicly identified — was hurt, Sequim police said. The driver was attempting to park when the car surged forward into the building.

Set to expire Wednesday

FORKS –– Four knocks on the door jamb from Steve Markwell’s big right hand quiets the barking dogs inside the pink warehouse that houses his Olympic Animal Sanctuary. Inside the door is 125 dogs, many of which have been condemned to death. “We save dogs you’d rather see dead” is the motto of the sanctuary. Criticism over the condition in which those dogs are being kept has fallen hard on Markwell over the past year. A petition has been circulated to city, county and state officials demanding the sanctuary’s closure. A Facebook page contains pictures reportedly from the sanctuary along with thousands of comments calling its closure at 1021 Russell Road, in the Forks city limit.

Federal funding for WIC was set to expire Wednesday. Clallam County Health and Human Services Director Iva Burks said the funding has been temporarily extended “while they work things out in Washington, D.C.” “The state is reallocating funds and is planning on carrying it for a week,” Baldwin said. “At the end of a week, the feds are saying that they will reallocate funding to carry it until the end of October.” If the government shutdown lasts into November, however, the program will shut down, Baldwin said. “The actual other cuts in terms of [U.S.] Fish and Wildlife and federal EPA [Environmental Protection Agency], all of those are just slow-downs and kind of messes we’re trying to figure out — who we call and how we interact with them,” Baldwin added.
