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
California State University, Los Angeles. 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 California State University, Los Angeles.
Amendment
This notice amends the determinations published in a Notice of
Inventory Completion in the Federal Register (88 FR 58605-58606, August
28, 2023). Repatriation of the items in the original Notice of
Inventory Completion has not occurred. This notice amends the number of
associated funerary objects as listed in the original notice. Upon the
rehousing of ancestors at the request of the Indian Tribes, additional
associated funerary objects were discovered.
From the CK2003 Mill Point #1 site (also referred to as the Fremont
Point site) in Clark County, NV, the two associated funerary objects
(no associated funerary objects were previously listed) include one
bird humerus and one chipmunk or ground squirrel distal left tibia.
Both associated funerary objects were found with Burial 2.
Determinations (as Amended)
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the California State University, Los Angeles has
determined that:
<bullet> The human remains represent the physical remains of two
individuals of Native American ancestry.
<bullet> The two associated funerary 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 Colorado River Indian Tribes
of the Colorado River Indian Reservation, Arizona and California;
Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon; Fort
Independence Indian Community of Paiute Indians of the Fort
Independence Reservation, California; Fort Mojave Indian Tribe of
Arizona, California, and Nevada; Hualapai Indian Tribe of the Hualapai
Indian Reservation, Arizona; Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians of the
Kaibab Indian Reservation, Arizona; Las Vegas Tribe of Paiute Indians
of the Las Vegas Indian Colony, Nevada; Moapa Band of Paiute Indians of
the Moapa River Indian Reservation, Nevada; and the Paiute Indian Tribe
of Utah (Cedar Band of Paiutes, Kanosh Band of Paiutes, Koosharem Band
of Paiutes, Indian Peaks Band of Paiutes, and Shivwits Band of
Paiutes).

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 organizations identified in

2. Any lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice who shows, by a

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 January 18, 2024.
If competing requests for repatriation are received, the California
State University, Los Angeles must determine the most appropriate
requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint repatriation of the
