VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:28 Apr 16, 2014
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.
