Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes, the California
Department of Parks and Recreation has determined that:

individuals of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> The 12 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 Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of the Cheyenne River
Reservation, South Dakota; Oglala Sioux Tribe; and the Standing Rock
Sioux Tribe of North & South Dakota.
