SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25
U.S.C. 3003, of the correction of an inventory of human remains and
associated funerary objects under the control of the San Bernardino
County Museum, Redlands, CA. The human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from Riverside County, CA.
This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The
determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the
museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and associated funerary objects. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.
This notice corrects the minimum number of individuals and the
number of associated funerary objects published in a Notice of
Inventory Completion in the Federal Register on April 27, 2021 (86 FR
22259-22261, April 27, 2021). A re-inventory discovered additional
human remains and associated objects. Transfer of control of the items
in this correction notice has not occurred.
Correction
In the Federal Register (86 FR 22260, April 27, 2021, FR Doc 2021-
08775), page 22248, column 3, under History and Description of the
Remains, paragraphs 1 and 2, are corrected by substituting the
following paragraphs:
On January 24, 1965 and August 28 1967, human remains
representing, at minimum, three individuals were recorded and
removed from the Meadowbrook site complex, comprised of SBCM-607
(CA-RIV-711, CA-RIV-713), SBCM-606 (RIV-707), SBCM 607 (RIV-711,
RIV-713), SBCM-609 (RIV-710 and RIV-709), SBCM-610 (RIV-712), SBCM-
611 (RIV-714), and then illegally graded in Aug 1992 at sites SBCM-
1559 (RIV-704) and SBCM 1561 (RIV-325) just south of Good Hope Mine
(site of the ``Good Hope Mine'' burial site) in Perris, Riverside
County, CA. Dr. Niewoehner, a physical anthropologist at California
State University, San Bernardino, who assisted SBCM in the
inventory, identified a human phalanx and a metatarsal in SBCM 607.
Myra Maisel from Pechanga Band of Luiseno Mission Indians assisted
in an inventory in Aug 2021 identified 10 pieces of an infant
cranium in SBCM 607 and one human vertebrae and rib bone in SBCM
611. No known individuals were identified. The 31 associated
funerary objects include one lot of faunal, one lot of soil, one lot
of bone awls, one lot of shell, one lot of pendants and pendant
fragments, one lot of pottery sherds, one lot of projectile points
and point fragments, one lot of tourmaline fragments, one lot of
personal stones, one lot of bifaces and biface fragments, one lot of
flake tools, one lot of flakes, one lot of core tools, one lot of
cores, one lot of hammerstones, one lot of manos and mano fragments,
one lot of ground stone and ground stone fragments, one lot of
pestles and pestle fragments, one lot of bowl fragments, one
granitic metate, one metate basin, one arrow straightener, one lot
of mixed faunal bone, one lot of red ochre, one lot of yellow ochre,
one lot of wood and charcoal, one piece of historic glass, one lot
of historic metal, one knife blade, one heating stone, and one palm.
The Meadowbrook site complex is part of the large village
complex directly adjacent to the Pechanga Indian Reservation. It
appears in a Sacred Lands File of the California Native American
Heritage Commission as a Pechanga traditional cultural property.
Moreover, the Native American Heritage Commission has named the
Pechanga as the most likely descendant Indian Tribe for human
remains removed from another location near Meadowbrook.
In the Federal Register (86 FR 22261, April 27, 2021, FR Doc
2021-08775, page 22249), column 2, (under the heading
``Determinations Made by the San Bernardino County Museum'') is
corrected by substituting the following sentences:
<bullet> Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains
described in this notice represent the physical remains of 10
individuals of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the 58 objects
described in this notice are reasonably believed to have been placed
with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later
as part of the death rite or ceremony.
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 and associated
funerary objects should submit a written request with information in
support of the request to Tamara Serrao-Leiva, San Bernardino County
Museum, 2024 Orange Tree Lane, Redlands, CA 92374, telephone (909) 798-

After that date, if no additional requestors have come forward,
transfer of control of the human remains and associated funerary
objects to the Indian Tribes referred to in the April 27, 2021 notice
as ``The Affiliated Tribes'' may proceed.
