determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C.
3001 (3)(B), the 32 cultural items are
reasonably believed to have been placed
with or near individual human remains

the death rite or ceremony and are
believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from
specific burial sites of Native American

objects should contact Patricia Capone,

The one fragmented textile (museum
No. 1963–5–1) was found in a Yokut
cemetery at the south end of Buena
Vista Lake, Kern County, CA. The textile
is contained in a frame with a note on
the back of the frame stating, ‘‘Found in
May 1935 by Edwin F. Walker in a
Yokuts cemetery 25 feet above the
shoreline of Buena Vista Lake, Kern
County, California, and 1,000 feet north
of shoreline at outlet of the lake.’’ The
textile was received at the San Diego
Museum of Man in 1963.
Museum records clearly indicate that
the textile was found in a Yokut
cemetery. Further information from the

square F/70, burial H, Depth 45 –
disturbed burial of an adult, elderly,
flexed, head to west, fabric wrapped

language family maps, written
ethnographical information about the
Yokuts and their inter-relationships

covers the territory where the
unassociated funerary object was
discovered. Based on consultation, the
museum was able to determine that the
Santa Rosa Indian Community of the

shared group identity with the
unassociated funerary object.
