members of Sitting Bull’s band from the
Standing Rock Agency, and possibly a
few Oglala from the Pine Ridge Agency,
were present. Fighting began when the
soldiers attempted to disarm the
surrounded Sioux. Reportedly, one of
the Sioux fired a shot and the soldiers
began firing, indiscriminately killing
women and children along with Sioux
warriors. Estimates of the number of
Sioux killed were as high as 300. About
39 U.S. soldiers were killed.
The human remains and associated
funerary objects date from the Wounded
Knee Massacre, on December 29, 1890.
The geographical location is consistent
with the occupation of the site by the
historical bands of Sioux Indians. The
associated funerary objects are
consistent with the period when this
region would have been occupied by the
historical bands of Sioux Indians. Based
upon the extant information about the
acquisition of this collection by the
California Department of Parks and
Recreation and the historical events
leading to the massacre at Wounded
Knee, the California Department of
Parks and Recreation Committee on
Repatriation determined that there is a
relationship of shared group identity
which can be reasonably traced between
these Native American human remains
and associated funerary objects and The
Tribes.

of human remains and associated
funerary objects in the possession of the
San Francisco State University
NAGPRA Program. The human remains
were removed from Marin and Sonoma
counties, 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 in
this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American human remains and
associated funerary objects. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
was made by the San Francisco State
University NAGPRA Program
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Federated Indians
of Graton Rancheria, California.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1989, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from site CA–MRN–127 in
Marin County, CA, by Holman and
Associates during construction at the
Marin County Civic Center. San
Francisco State University received the
collection in 2010. No known
individuals were identified. The 56
associated funerary objects are 23 pieces
of obsidian debitage, 2 obsidian
projectile points, 4 individual pieces
and 6 lots of chert debitage, 4 pieces of
quartz, 11 bone tools, 1 pestle, 1 olivella
bead, 1 trade bead, 1 lot of soil from the
burial matrix, and 2 manuports. A
radiocarbon date of A.D. 1600±50,
obsidian hydration readings, and artifact
typology indicate site CA–MRN–127
contains Augustine Pattern components.
In 1967, human remains representing,
at minimum, three individuals were
removed from site CA–MRN–365 in
Marin County, CA, by San Francisco
State University during an
archaeological field class under the
direction of Thomas F. King. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Based on artifact typology, the site dates
to circa 1000 B.C.–A.D 1500 and
contains Berkeley to Augustine Pattern
components.
In 1971, human remains representing,
at minimum, ten individuals were
removed from site CA–MRN–402 in
Marin County, CA, by San Francisco
State University during an
archaeological field class under the
direction of Charles Slaymaker and
Winfield Henn. No known individuals

were identified. The 20 associated
funerary objects are 1 obsidian tool, 7
chert tools, 6 bone tools, 3 quartz
crystals, and 3 lots of chert and obsidian
debitage. Ethnographic accounts and
artifact typology indicated the site dates
to circa A.D. 1100–1884 and contains
Augustine Pattern components along
with ethnohistoric and historic era
materials.
In 1997, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from site CA–SON–227 in
Sonoma County, CA, by Origer and
Associates in conjunction with
proposed construction at Sear Point
Raceway. San Francisco State
University received the collection in
2010. No known individuals were
identified. The 15 associated funerary
objects are 11 obsidian tools and
debitage and 4 chert tools and debitage.
Obsidian hydration readings and artifact
typology indicate that site dates
anywhere from circa A.D. 1000 to the
time of European contact and contains
Augustine Pattern components.
Archeological evidence indicates that
the Penutian-speaking proto-Miwok
people were settled in Marin and
southern Sonoma counties, CA, circa
2000 B.C.–A.D. 1500. Ancestral Coast
Miwok have been identified on the basis
of similarities between the archeological
record and historic material culture as
early as 500 B.C. Ethnographic records
show that the Coast Miwok occupied all
of Marin County at the time of European
contact. The ethnographic and
archeological evidence, along with
consultation with representatives of the
Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria,
California, indicates that all Native
American sites in Marin County, CA,
and site CA–SON–227 in Sonoma
County, CA are culturally affiliated with
descendants of the Coast Miwok.
Descendants of the Coast Miwok are
members of the Federated Indians of
Graton Rancheria, California.
Determinations Made by the San
Francisco State University
Officials of the San Francisco State
University NAGPRA Program have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 15
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),

with or near individual human remains
at the time of death or later as part of
the death rite or ceremony.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
