this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal
agency that has control of the Native
American cultural items. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
History and Description of the Cultural
Items
Based on the request for repatriation
submitted by the Tuolumne Band of MeWuk Indians of the Tuolumne
Rancheria of California, each of the
objects below meets the definition of
unassociated funerary objects under 25
U.S.C. 3001 and 43 CFR 10.2(d)(2)(ii),
(d)(3), or (d)(4). Through the summary,
consultation, and notification
procedures in 43 CFR 10.14, the cultural
affiliation of the cultural items below
with the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk
Indians of the Tuolumne Rancheria of
California was established.
Between 1970 and 1971, 2 cultural
items were removed from site CA-TUO314, located on the southern bank of
Moccasin Creek, near LaGrange, in
Tuolumne County, CA, during
archeological excavations conducted by
San Francisco State University. The 2
unassociated funerary objects are
ground stone artifacts associated with
human remains from Burial 5; the
human remains are not present at San
Francisco State University. The
geographic location of the sites and
archeological, historical, and oral
history evidence indicate that these
unassociated funerary objects are Native
American. The objects are consistent
with the material culture of the
ancestral Sierra Miwok who occupied
this area during the Euro-American
contact period, and Ca-TUO-314 is
located in an area that is documented as
Central Sierra Miwok territory. Oral
history evidence presented during
consultation indicates that the area has
been continuously occupied by the
Miwok since the contact period and that
there is cultural affiliation between the
Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians of
the Tuolumne Rancheria of California.
Determinations Made by the San
Francisco State University NAGPRA
Program
Officials of the San Francisco State
University NAGPRA Program have
determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the 2 unassociated funerary 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 and are believed, by a
