completion of an inventory of human remains in the possession of San 
Diego State University, San Diego, CA. The human remains were removed 
from two sites in San Diego County, CA.
    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's 
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). 
The determinations within this notice are the sole responsibility of 
the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the

Indians of the Barona Reservation, California; Campo Band of Diegueno 
Mission Indians of the Campo Indian Reservation, California; Capitan 
Grande Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of California; Cuyapaipe

Indians of California; Santa Ysabel Band of Diegueno Mission Indians of 
the Santa Ysabel Reservation, California; Sycuan Band of Diegueno 
Mission Indians of California; Viejas (Baron Long) Group of Capitan 
Grande Band of Mission Indians of the Viejas Reservation, California;

    In 1965, human remains representing a minimum of one individual 
were removed from an area located near the Carlton Hills Estates (SDSU-
0102, 1965-3) in Santee, CA, during salvage surface collections. No 
known individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.
    Between 1977 and 1978, human remains representing a minimum of one 
individual were removed from the Woodward site (SDSU-0015, CA-SDI-5216) 
in Rancho Santa Fe, CA, during excavations conducted by RECON, an 
environmental cultural resource management firm in San Diego. No known 
individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present. 
The individuals have been identified as Native American based on 
consultation evidence and their geographic origin within the 
historically documented territory of the Kumeyaay Indians. The Kumeyaay 
Indians are represented by the present-day Indian tribes that are 
members of the Kumeyaay Cultural Repatriation Committee.
    Officials of San Diego State University have determined that, 
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9-10), the human remains described above 
represent the physical remains of a minimum of two individuals of 
Native American ancestry. Officials of San Diego State University also 
have determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), there is a 
relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced 
between the Native American human remains 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; Capitan Grande Band of Diegueno Mission 
Indians of California; Cuyapaipe Community of Diegueno Mission Indians

be culturally affiliated with the human remains should contact Lynn
