precontact times into the historic
period.
Archeological and linguistic evidence
indicates that Chumash culture
developed in place and is of substantial
antiquity in the area of San Luis Obispo,
Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles
Counties. Consultation with
representatives of the Santa Ynez Band
of Chumash Mission Indians of the
Santa Ynez Reservation, California
confirms that the area of San Luis
Obisbo, Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los
Angles Counties is within the territory
traditionally occupied by the Chumash
and that the human remains and
associated funerary objects described
above are culturally affiliated with the
Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission
Indians of the Santa Ynez Reservation,
California.
Officials of the Natural History
Museum of Los Angeles County
Foundation have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), the
human remains described above
represent the physical remains of 122
individuals of Native American
ancestry. Officials of the Natural History
Museum of Los Angeles County
Foundation also have determined that,
pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(A), the
758 objects described above 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. Lastly,
officials of the Natural History Museum
of Los Angeles County Foundation 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
associated funerary objects and the
Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission
Indians of the Santa Ynez Reservation,
California.
Representatives of any other Indian
tribe that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the human remains
should contact Dr. Margaret Hardin,
Natural History Museum of Los Angeles
County Foundation, 900 Exposition
Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90007,
telephone (213) 763–3475, before March
26, 2008. Repatriation of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
to the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash
Mission Indians of the Santa Ynez
Reservation, California may proceed
after that date if no additional claimants
come forward.
The Natural History Museum of Los
Angeles County Foundation is
responsible for notifying the Santa Ynez
Band of Chumash Mission Indians of
the Santa Ynez Reservation, California
that this notice has been published.

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Notice is here given in accordance
with the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the
completion of an inventory of human
remains in the possession of Natural
History Museum of Los Angeles County
Foundation, Los Angeles, CA. The
human remains were removed from
Kern and Kings Counties, CA, and an
unknown location probably in the
interior of California.
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
in this notice are the sole responsibility
of the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
An assessment of the human remains
was made by the Natural History
Museum of Los Angeles County
Foundation professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Santa Rosa Indian Community of the
Santa Rosa Rancheria, California (also
known as the Tachi Yokut Tribe).
In or before 1918, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from Kern
County, CA. The human remains were
brought to the museum by a private
collector and accessioned on August 11,
1918 (Accession number A.847.18–1).
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The accession records indicate the
human remains were excavated from a
location ‘‘45 miles N.W. of Bakersfield
and 12 miles S.E. of Lost Hill.’’ Based
on museum records, the human remains
are Native American. There is no further
documentation on the original context
of the human remains.
In or before 1951, human remains
representing a minimum of three
individuals were removed from Kings

County, CA, by an unknown person.
The human remains were brought to the
museum by a private collector and
accessioned into the Department of
Mammalogy in September, 1951. In
1993, the human remains were
transferred to the Department of
Anthropology (Accession numbers
LACM 51136, LACM.51137, and LACM
51139). No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
The accession records indicate two
individuals were recovered from a
location in Kings County ‘‘7 miles south
of Lemore.’’ The other individual was
recovered ‘‘5 miles south of Lemore.’’
Based on museum records, the human
remains are Native American. There is
no further documentation on the
original context of the human remains.
In or before 1956, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from an
unknown locality from probably the
interior of California. The human
remains were brought to the Natural
History Museum of Los Angeles County
Foundation by a private collector and
accessioned on September 18, 1956
(Accession number A.6988.56–24). No
known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The collector designated the human
remains as that of a ‘‘Yokuk Indian.’’
The accession records do not indicate a
specific locality nor is there further
documentation on the original context
of the human remains. Based on
collector information and museum
records, the museum has determined
that the human remains are reasonably
believed to be Yokut.
The five individuals described above
had previously been determined to be
culturally unidentifiable. However,
during consultation, tribal
representatives of the Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California established that
the Yokut had territories in portions of
central California, including Kern and
Kings Counties. The Yokut are divided
into Northern, Southern, and Foothill
Yokut. Descendants of the Yokut are
members of the Picayune Rancheria of
Chuckchansi Indians of California;
Santa Rosa Indian Community of the
Santa Rosa Rancheria, California; Table
Mountain Rancheria of California; and
Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule
River Reservation, California.

This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations
in this notice are the sole responsibility
of the museum, institution, or Federal

associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Natural
History Museum of Los Angeles County
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California (also known as the
Tachi Yokut Tribe) and Tule River
Indian Tribe of the Tule River
Reservation, California.
After further consultation with the
tribal representatives, cultural affiliation
has been revised for a Notice of
Inventory Completion previously
published in the Federal Register of
August 16, 1999 (FR Doc 99–21068,
pages 44535–44536) by adding the Santa
Rosa Indian Community of the Santa
Rosa Rancheria, California. This notice
supersedes the previously published
Notice of Inventory Completion of
August 16, 1999.
In 1932, human remains representing
one individual were recovered from the
Robla Lomas Ranch, Woodlake, Tulare
County, CA, under unknown
circumstances. In 1972, the human
remains were donated to the Los
Angeles County Museum of Natural
History (now the Natural History
Museum of Los Angeles County
Foundation) by Helen Phillips Spears.
No known individual was identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Collections documentation indicates
this individual was found with ten other
individuals on the Robla Lomas Ranch.
Documentation also suggests that the
human remains are probably those of an
individual killed by the Spanish during
a battle known to have occurred at the
Robla Lomas Ranch in 1832.
Ethnohistoric information, as well as
consultation with tribal representatives
of the Santa Rosa Indian Community of
the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California
and Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule
River Reservation, California, indicates
that the Robla Lomas Ranch is within
the historic territory traditionally
occupied by the Yokut. Descendants of
the Yokut are members of the Picayune
Rancheria of Chuckchansi Indians of
California; Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California; Table Mountain
Rancheria of California; and Tule River
Indian Tribe of the Tule River
