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, Riverside. 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, Riverside.
Amendment
This notice amends the determinations published in a Notice of
Inventory Completion in the Federal Register (68 FR 23495, May 2,
2003). Repatriation of the items in the original Notice of Inventory
Completion has not occurred. This amendment is being made to reflect
the identification of newly discovered associated funerary objects for
the archeological collection CA-RIV-1180 (accession 89). The original
notice only listed human remains, but tribal representatives have
reviewed the remaining objects in the collection and have identified
funerary objects. The 3,917 objects include 3,628 animal bones, one
bone bead, 219 ceramic sherds, 45 lithic materials, 12 flaked stone
tools, two ground stones, one battered stone, and nine shell beads.
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, Riverside has determined
that:
<bullet> The human remains described in this amended notice
represent the physical remains of one individual of Native American
ancestry.
<bullet> The 3,917 objects described in this amended 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.
<bullet> There is a relationship of shared group identity that can
be reasonably traced between the human remains and associated funerary
objects described in this notice and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla
Indians of the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation, California; Augustine
Band of Cahuilla Indians, California; Cabazon Band of Cahuilla Indians
(Previously listed as Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, California);
Cahuilla Band of Indians; Los Coyotes Band of Cahuilla and Cupeno
Indians, California; Morongo Band of Mission Indians, California;
Ramona Band of Cahuilla, California; Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla
Indians, California; and the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians,
California.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects in this notice must be sent to the
Responsible Official identified in ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation
may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.
2. Any lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice who shows, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that the requestor is a lineal
descendant or a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary objects
in this notice to a requestor may occur on or after September 22, 2023.
If competing requests for repatriation are received, the {1. University
of California, Riverside{time} must determine the most appropriate
requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary objects are considered a single
request and not competing requests. The {1. University of California,
Riverside{time} is responsible for sending a copy of this notice to
the Indian Tribes identified in this notice.
