SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA.
The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the
University of California, Berkeley. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations in this notice. Additional
information on the amendments and determinations in this notice,
including the results of consultation, can be found in the inventory or
related records held by the University of California, Berkeley.
Amendment
This notice amends the determinations published in a Notice of
Inventory Completion in the Federal Register (70 FR 5466-5467, February
2, 2005). Repatriation of the items in the original Notice of Inventory
Completion has not occurred.
Following additional consultation, this notice amends both the
number of associated funerary objects and the cultural affiliation of
the human remains and associated funerary objects removed from site CA-
Son-5 in Sonoma County, CA.
The four associated funerary objects (previously identified as
three associated funerary objects) are one stone pestle, one clam shell
bead, one lot of shells, and one lot of stone blades and flakes.
Site CA-Son-5 is located in a region that has been occupied by Pomo
speakers since approximately 5,000 B.C. Based on geographical location,
age of the burial, and information provided during consultation, the
human remains are culturally affiliated with descendants of the Pomo.
The modern-day representatives of the Pomo in Sonoma County are the
Cloverdale Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California; Dry Creek Rancheria
of Pomo Indians, California (previously listed as Dry Creek Rancheria
of Pomo Indians of California); Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria,
California; Guidiville Rancheria of California; Kashia Band of Pomo
Indians of the Stewarts Point Rancheria, California; Lytton Rancheria
of California; Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California;
Pinoleville Pomo Nation, California (previously listed as Pinoleville
Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California); and the Robinson Rancheria
(previously listed as Robinson Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians,
California).
Determinations (as Amended)
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the University of California, Berkeley has determined
that:
<bullet> The human remains represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> The four objects 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.
<bullet> There is a relationship of shared group identity that can
be reasonably traced between the human remains and associated funerary
objects and the Cloverdale Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California; Dry
Creek Rancheria of Pomo Indians, California (previously listed as Dry
Creek Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California); Federated Indians of
Graton Rancheria, California; Guidiville Rancheria of California;
Kashia Band of Pomo Indians of the Stewarts Point Rancheria,
California; Lytton Rancheria of California; Middletown Rancheria of
Pomo Indians of California; Pinoleville Pomo Nation, California
(previously listed as Pinoleville Rancheria of Pomo Indians of
California); and the Robinson Rancheria (previously listed as Robinson
Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, California).
