<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#cebaa1aaaae0a4afa8a8a5ab8eaaa1bae0adafe0a9a1b8"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="10647f74743e7a7176767b7550747f643e73713e777f66">[email protected]</span></a>.
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 California
Department of Transportation, Oakland, CA. The human remains and
associated funerary objects were removed from the Suscol Site (CA-NAP-
15/H) in Napa 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 cultural affiliation of human remains and
associated funerary objects published in a Notice of Inventory
Completion in the Federal Register (65 FR 67756-67757, November 13,
2000). This correction is being made after officials at CALTRANS
identified additional culturally affiliated Indian Tribes. Also, the
name of the culturally affiliated Indian Tribe listed in the previous
notice is corrected. Transfer of control of the items in this
correction notice has not occurred.
Correction
In the Federal Register (65 FR 67757, November 13, 2000), column 2,
paragraph 1, sentence 3 is corrected by substituting the following
sentence:
Officials of the California Department of Transportation have
determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2(e), there is a relationship
of shared group identity which can be reasonably traced between
these Native American human remains and associated funerary objects
and the Cachil DeHe Band of Wintun Indians of the Colusa Indian
Community of the Colusa Rancheria, California; Kletsel Dehe Band of
Wintun Indians (previously listed as Cortina Indian Rancheria); and
the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, California (previously listed as
Rumsey Indian Rancheria of Wintun Indians of California) (hereafter
referred to as The Tribes).
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 Todd Jaffke, Senior Environmental Planner,
California Department of Transportation, P.O. Box 94623 (M.S.8),
Oakland, CA 94623-0660, telephone (510) 960-5025, email

additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the
human remains and associated funerary objects to The Tribes may
proceed.
The California Department of Transportation is responsible for
notifying The Tribes that this notice has been published.
Dated: June 10, 2022.
