Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains and associated

remains and associated funerary objects
were removed from Mitchell Caverns
(CA–SBR–117), San Bernardino, 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 was made by the California
Department of Parks and Recreation
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Chemehuevi
Indian Tribe of the Chemehuevi
Reservation, California and the TwentyNine Palms Band of Mission Indians of
California.
The Colorado River Indian Tribes of
the Colorado River Indian Reservation,
Arizona and California, and the Fort
Mojave Indian Tribe of Arizona,
California, & Nevada were invited to
consult but did not participate.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1968, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from Mitchell Caverns (CA–
SBR–117) in San Bernardino, CA. The
human remains were uncovered during
a construction project in El Pakiva cave,
and were collected by Park Supervisor
Frank L. Fairchild. The human remains
were sent from Mitchell Caverns State
Reserve to the California Department of
Parks and Recreation headquarters in
Sacramento, CA on May 29, 1968, where
they were cataloged. The human
remains consist of a mandible of a
juvenile, aged 8–9 years. No known
individuals were identified. The 10
associated funerary objects are: One
sheep scapula, one bone needle, two
bone awls, two bone tools, two bifaces,
one abalone shell, and one lot of acorn
fragments.
It is estimated that El Pakiva cave was
used from A.D. 500 until historic
contact. There is no known date for the
human remains removed from the cave.
The cave’s geographic affiliation and
archeological context are consistent
with the historically documented
Chemehuevi. Archeological and
linguistic evidence suggest the ancestral
Chemehuevi were present in the area by
A.D. 1000 to 1200, and perhaps even
earlier. Based on consultation with the
Tribes of the region and the historic
circumstances of the relationship
between the historic Chemehuevi and
Mojave peoples, the California
Department of Parks and Recreation
Committee on Repatriation determined
E:\FR\FM\17OCN1.SGM
17OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 201 / Wednesday, October 17, 2018 / Notices
that there is a relationship of shared
group identity which can be reasonably
traced between these Native American
human remains and the Chemehuevi
Indian Tribe of the Chemehuevi
Reservation, California; Colorado River
Indian Tribes of the Colorado River
Indian Reservation, Arizona and
California; Fort Mojave Indian Tribe of
Arizona, California & Nevada; and the
Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission
Indians of California, hereafter referred
to as ‘‘The Tribes.’’
Determinations Made by the California
Department of Parks and Recreation
Officials of the California Department
of Parks and Recreation 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 10 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.

Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Sternberg
Museum of Natural History professional
staff in consultation with
representatives of Tohono O’odham
Nation of Arizona.
History and Description of the Remains
In 1928, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from Nogales, in Santa Cruz
County, AZ. Two ollas, each of which
contained the cremated remains of one
individual, were uncovered during an
operation to lower and pave a street.
The two ollas were donated by Mr.
James W. Haddock of Nogales High
School in 1929. No known individuals
were identified.
According to a letter from Mr.
Haddock, Dr. Dean Cummings of the
University of Arizona supervised the
excavation of the ollas. Dr. Cummings
identified the ollas as belonging to the
‘‘Pithouse Indians and about 2000 years
old.’’ Mr. Peter Steere, Tribal Historic
Preservation Officer for the Tohono
O’odham Nation Cultural Center &
Museum, identified the ollas as
Hohokam plain ware vessels that date to
A.D. 1000–1400. The Hohokam are
regarded as the ancestors of the Tohono
O’odham, and the Nogales area of
Southern Arizona is within the
geographic area covered by the Tohono
O’odham Nation under NAGPRA
repatriation.
Determinations Made by the Sternberg
Museum of Natural History
Officials of the Sternberg Museum of
Natural History have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of two

ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),

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

between the Native American human
remains and associated funerary objects
