Description
In 1987, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual
were removed from site CA-RIV-333 in Riverside, Riverside County, CA,
by the University of California, Riverside. Based on the archeological
evidence, site CA-RIV-333 was occupied during the Late Prehistoric
period (A.D. 1500-1770). The remains of this individual were listed in
a Notice of Inventory Completion published in the Federal Register on
April 25, 2003 (68 FR 20407-20408). In 2023, representatives of the
Pechanga Band of Indians identified funerary objects associated with
the human remains. The 12 associated funerary objects are one lot
consisting of animal bones, one lot consisting of ceramics, one lot
consisting of clay, one lot consisting of lithic materials, one lot
consisting of metal, one lot consisting of rubber, one lot consisting
of modified shells, one lot consisting of animal bones, one lot
consisting of mineralogical objects, one lot consisting of unmodified
shells, one lot consisting of organic material, and one lot consisting
of fire-altered rocks.
Cultural Affiliation
The associated funerary objects in this notice are connected to one
or more identifiable earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or cultures.
There is a relationship of shared group identity between the
identifiable earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or cultures and one or
more Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations. The following
types of information were used to reasonably trace the relationship:
anthropological, archeological, geographical, historical, oral
traditional, and expert tribal opinion.
Determinations
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 12 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.
<bullet> There is a relationship of shared group identity that can
be reasonably traced between the associated funerary objects described
in this notice and the Pechanga Band of Indians (Previously
[[Page 67359]]
listed as Pechanga Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the Pechanga
Reservation, California).
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the 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 associated funerary objects in this notice to a
requestor may occur on or after October 30, 2023. If competing requests
for repatriation are received, the University of California, Riverside
must determine the most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation.
Requests for joint repatriation of the associated funerary objects are
considered a single request and not competing requests. The University
of California, Riverside is responsible for sending a copy of this
notice to the Indian Tribe identified in this notice.
Authority: Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act,
