To Community:
I consult largely on forensic cases and have since the early 1980’s, then largely for the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Department. I've consulted a few times for Dr. Gary Goldfogel, Whatcom County Medical Examiner and a couple of times for Alfred Reid, professional archaeologist who works locally in Whatcom County. In the summer of 1998, I consulted for the Colville Tribe regarding the nature of DNA versus osteological evidence and methadology for assessing ethnicity of ancestral remains (e.g. Kennewick Man). January 1999 I consulted for the Blaine Police Department regarding the remains of a Native American eroding out through water action at 45-WH-17. Three weeks of summer 1999 I determined minimum number of individuals etc. for Lummi remains that were shipped to Denver. I've also worked with them since relative to their court cases. In spring of 2002 I consulted one day with the Tulalip Tribe's lab people working with remains at a tentative home site off Priest Point Drive, N.E. on their reservation.
