Jkt 232001
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains under the control of
Texas A&M University, College Station,
TX. The human remains were removed
from the Tajiguas Cliffs, Santa Barbara
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 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.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by Texas A&M
University (TAMU) professional staff in
1995, and the remains were determined
to be ancestral to the Chumash Indians.
In 2010, representatives of the Santa
Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians
of the Santa Ynez Reservation,
California, were invited to consult with
TAMU for the purpose of determining
the place and manner of the
repatriation, but no representatives
contacted TAMU or visited the remains
in response to this invitation.
History and Description of the Remains
Sometime prior to 1987, human
remains representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from the
Tajiguas Cliffs in Santa Barbara County,
CA, by a private individual, and were
donated to TAMU in 1987. The human
remains were determined to be one
adult of indeterminate sex (TAMU–
NAGPRA 72). No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. Based on the
geographic location and the
accompanying note describing funerary
objects (not included in donation),
TAMU staff found it reasonable to trace
a shared identity from this site to the
Chumash Indians.
Determinations Made by Texas A&M
University
Officials of Texas A&M University
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of one
individual of Native American ancestry.
• 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.

TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
History and Description of the Remains
From July 1985 to August 1985,
human remains representing, at
minimum, three individuals were
removed from the Wilson County
Project Site (41WN73), in Wilson
County, TX, as part of a salvage
excavation run through the University
of Texas at San Antonio. At the time of
donation, these human remains were
identified as being from Burial #1
(TAMU–NAGPRA 45), Burial #2
(TAMU–NAGPRA 46), and Burial #3
(TAMU–NAGPRA 47). The human
remains were determined to be as
follows: Burial #1, one adult of
indeterminate sex; Burial #2, one adult
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:28 Apr 16, 2014
Jkt 232001
of indeterminate sex; and Burial #3, one
adult of indeterminate sex. Based on
artifacts recovered from the site, the
human remains were determined to be
prehistoric. No known individuals were
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In 1978, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from private land in Kinney
County, TX, and donated to TAMU
(TAMU–NAGPRA 48). At the time of
donation, it was indicated that the
human remains were probably
prehistoric, without further explanation.
Analysis of the human remains by
physical anthropologists indicates that
this individual was of Native American
origins. The human remains were
determined to be one adult female and
one adult male. No known individuals
were identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
In 1986, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from private land in Wharton
County, TX, and donated to TAMU
(TAMU–NAGPRA 56). The two
associated funerary objects are a lead
bullet and ceramic pipe. The associated
funerary objects date the human
remains to 1840–1870 A.D. Analysis of
the human remains by physical
anthropologists indicates that this
individual was of Native American
origins. The human remains were
determined to be one adult of
indeterminate sex. No known
individuals were identified.
Based on geographic location of all
the sites in this notice, TAMU staff
found it reasonable to trace a shared
identity between the human remains in
this notice and the following historic
groups: Cantona, Ervipiame, Mayeye,
Comanche, Kickapoo, Tonkawa,
Coahuiltecan, and Lipan Apache.
Archeological and linguistic evidence,
historical records, and/or traditional
beliefs indicate that there is a
relationship of shared group identity
between these historic groups and the
present-day Comanche Nation,
Oklahoma; Kickapoo Tribe of
Oklahoma; and the Tonkawa Tribe of
Indians of Oklahoma.
Determinations Made by Texas A&M
University
Officials of Texas A&M University
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of six
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the two objects described in this notice
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.
• 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 Comanche Nation,
Oklahoma; Kickapoo Tribe of
Oklahoma; and the Tonkawa Tribe of
Indians of Oklahoma.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains should submit

human remains to the Comanche
Nation, Oklahoma; Kickapoo Tribe of
