AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Notice is hereby given in accordance with provisions of the Native 
American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 43 CFR 10.9, 
of the completion of an inventory of human remains and associated 
funerary objects in the possession of the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of 
Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley, CA.
    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's 
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 43 CFR 10.2 (c). The 
determinations within this notice are the sole responsibility of the 
museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of these Native 
American human remains and associated funerary objects. The National 
Park Service is not responsible for the determinations within this 
notice.
    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by Phoebe A. 
Hearst Museum of Anthropology professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of Barona Group of Capitan Grande Band of Mission 
Indians of the Barona Reservation, California; Campo Band of Diegueno 
Mission Indians of the Campo Indian Reservation, California; Cuyapaipe 
Community of Diegueno Mission Indians of the Cuyapaipe Reservation, 
California; Inaja Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of the Inaja and 
Cosmit Reservation, California; Jamul Indian Village of California; La 
Posta Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of the La Posta Indian 
Reservation, California; Manzanita Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of 
the Manzanita Reservation, California; Mesa Grande Band of Diegueno 
Mission Indians of the Mesa Grande Reservation, California; San Pasqual 
Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of California; Santa Ysabel Band of 
Diegueno Mission Indians of the Santa Ysabel Reservation, California; 
Sycuan Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of California; Pala Band of 
Luiseno Mission Indians of the Pala Reservation, California; Agua 
Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians of the Agua Caliente Indian 
Reservation, California; Cahuilla Band of Mission Indians of the 
Cahuilla Reservation, California; Cabazon Band of Cahuilla Mission 
Indians of the Cabazon Reservation, California; Los Coyotes Band of the

Rosa Reservation, California; Torres-Martinez Band of Cahuilla Mission 
Indians of California; and Viejas (Baron Long) Group of Capitan Grande 
Band of Mission Indians of the Viejas Reservation, California.
    During the 1930s, human remains representing a minimum of one 
individual (Cat.no. 12-11219) were recovered from site CA-SDi-NL-2, 
Borego Valley, San Diego County, CA, by Happy Sharp. In 1940, Mr. Sharp 
donated these human remains to the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of 
Anthropology. No known individual was identified. The 73 associated 
funerary objects (Cat.no. 1-64357) are pottery sherds and shell 
fragments.

    Based on manner of interment and the associated funerary objects, 
this individual has been identified as Native American. Based on strong 
geographical evidence, linguistic evidence, and manner of interment 
(cremation is generally a post-A.D. 1400 practice in this area), the 
preponderance of the evidence indicates cultural affiliation between 
these human remains and associated funerary objects and the Barona 
Group of Capitan Grande Band of Mission Indians of the Barona 
Reservation, California; Campo Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of the 
Campo Indian Reservation, California; Cuyapaipe Community of Diegueno 
Mission Indians of the Cuyapaipe Reservation, California; Inaja Band of 
Diegueno Mission Indians of the Inaja and Cosmit Reservation, 
California; Jamul Indian Village of California; La Posta Band of 
Diegueno Mission Indians of the La Posta Indian Reservation, 
California; Manzanita Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of the Manzanita 
Reservation, California; Mesa Grande Band of Diegueno Mission Indians 
of the Mesa Grande Reservation, California; San Pasqual Band of 
Diegueno Mission Indians of California; Santa Ysabel Band of Diegueno 
Mission Indians of the Santa Ysabel Reservation, California; Sycuan 
Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of California; Pala Band of Luiseno 
Mission Indians of the Pala Reservation, California; Agua Caliente Band 
of Cahuilla Indians of the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation, 
California; Cahuilla Band of Mission Indians of the Cahuilla 
Reservation, California; Cabazon Band of Cahuilla Mission Indians of 
the Cabazon Reservation, California; Los Coyotes Band of the Cahuilla 
Mission Indians of the Los Coyotes Reservation, California; Morongo 
Band of Cahuilla Mission Indians of the Morongo Reservation, 
California; Ramona Band or Village of Cahuilla Mission Indians of 
California; Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Mission Indians of the Santa 
Rosa Reservation, California; Torres-Martinez Band of Cahuilla Mission 
Indians of California; and Viejas (Baron Long) Group of Capitan Grande 
Band of Mission Indians of the Viejas Reservation, California.

CFR 10.2 (d)(1), the human remains listed above represent the physical 
remains of a minimum of one individual of Native American ancestry.

death rite or ceremony. Lastly, officials of the Phoebe A. Hearst 
Museum have determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2 (e), there is a
