History and Description of the Remains
At an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, one
individual were removed from an
unknown cremation site in the Mason
Valley, San Diego County, CA. In 1972,
the Riverside Metropolitan Museum
purchased the cremated human remains
together with associated funerary
objects from Charles F. Irwin of Long

Beach, CA. No known individuals were
identified. The six associated funerary
objects include: Three lumps of burned
asphaltum, one length of 14 fused glass
beads, one burned fiber cloth, and one
piece of asphaltum with burned plant
remains and 3-ply cordage inclusions.
It was determined through collections
research and geographic location that
the cremated human remains and
associated funerary objects are of
Kumeyaay/Diegueno origin from Mason
Valley, San Diego County, CA. Museum
records indicate ‘‘Indian Cremation
Remains.’’ Mason Valley extends
through San Diego and Imperial
Counties as well as Baja Norte. While
the nation of original inhabitants has
been called ‘‘Southern Diegueno,’’
‘‘Diegueno-Kamia Ipai-Tipai,’’ and
‘‘Mission Indians,’’ the tribes prefer to
be called Kumeyaay. The Kumeyaay are
a federation of autonomous selfgoverning bands that have clearly
defined territories and are represented
by The Tribes.
Determinations Made by the Riverside
Metropolitan Museum
Officials of the Riverside Metropolitan
Museum 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(3)(A),
the six 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 associated funerary objects
and The Tribes.

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains and associated
