-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the University of California, Riverside has
amended a Notice of Inventory Completion published in the Federal
Register on March 25, 2004. This notice amends the number of associated
funerary objects in a collection removed from Riverside County, CA.
DATES: Repatriation of the human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice may occur on or after February 15, 2024.

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 (69 FR 15379-15380, March
25, 2004). Repatriation of the items in the original Notice of
Inventory Completion has not occurred. The amendment is being made to
reflect the addition of newly identified associated funerary objects
for two of the collections listed in the original notice.
For CA-RIV-2199, the original notice only listed human remains, but
tribal representatives have reviewed the remaining objects in the
collection and have identified 14 lots of associated funerary objects.
These objects include one lot of ceramics, one lot of unfired clay, one
lot of glass, one lot of lithics, one lot of metal, one lot of plastic,
one lot of rubber, one lot of shell beads, one lot of faunal bones, one
lot of fabric, one lot of floral materials, one lot of geological
materials, one lot of unmodified shell, and one lot fire-altered rock.
For CA-RIV-4169 the original notice only listed human remains, but
tribal representatives have reviewed the remaining objects in the
collections and have identified six lots of associated funerary
objects. These objects include two lots of ceramics, one lot of shell
beads, one lot of faunal bones, one lot
[[Page 2640]]
of unmodified shells, and one lot of glass.
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 three individuals of Native American
ancestry.
<bullet> The 20 lots of 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 February 15, 2024.
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 human
remains and 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 Tribes and
Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this notice.
