Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray
Reservation, Utah (hereafter referred to
as ‘‘The Tribes’’).
History and Description of the Remains
In 1874, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from a site near Fort Cameron
in Beaver County, UT. The human
remains consist of the humerus of an
adult male between 30–40 years old.
The humerus exhibits a healed fracture
of the humeral head. The human
remains were collected and donated to
the Army Medical Museum (today the
National Museum of Health and
Medicine) by U.S. Army Assistant
Surgeon Frederick W. Elbrey in
September 1874. No known individual
was identified. No associated funerary
objects are present.
Written correspondence from
collector Assistant Surgeon Elbrey
describes the human remains as
belonging to a ‘‘Pah Ute Indian from a
grave near Fort Cameron, U.T.’’ Fort
Cameron is near Beaver, in Beaver
County, Utah. Geographical evidence
suggests this individual was part of the
local band known as the Beaver band or
Kwi-um’-pus band. The Beaver band
intermarried with the nearby Kanosh, or
Pahvant Ute band, and descendants of
the Kanosh band are found today among
the Paiute Tribe of Utah and the Ute
Indian Tribe of the Uintah & Ouray
Reservation, Utah.

History and Description of the Remains
In 1951, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from Indian Wells (SBCM–20;
CA–RIV–64) in Riverside County, CA,
during a survey by the Archaeological
Survey Association of Southern
California. The age and sex of this
individual are unknown. No known
individual was identified. The one
associated funerary object is one lot of
charcoal.
In 1898, evidence for the existence of
cremations, a workshop, and kilns was
found at CA–RIV–64, and in 1933–35,
G. Smith attested to the presence of
cremations when he recorded the site.
As no units or stratigraphical data were
recorded in 1951, there is little
information to establish a time-period
for these human remains. Artifacts
recovered from the site, though, point to
a primarily protohistoric presence, with
some earlier and later occupations.
Ethnohistoric evidence indicates that
the area around Indian Wells was
occupied by the Cahuilla Tribe during
the prehistoric and protohistoric period,
and this area has traditionally been
identified as Cahuilla ancestral territory.
When Cahuilla peopled the Coachella
Valley, Indian Wells was the seat from
which their leader, Sungrey, exercised
authority. Today, the Agua Caliente
Band of Cahuilla Indians of the Agua
Caliente Indian Reservation, California
has a conservation easement on an area
of CA–RIV–64 (a burial dune).
In 1982, human remains representing,
at minimum, one individual were
removed from Seven Palms Ranch
(SBCM–173; CA–RIV–1825, CA–RIV–
1827) in Riverside County, CA, by
Albert A. Webb Associates. The firm’s
1982 site report states, ‘‘SP 6 is
potentially the largest site on the
property. SP 6 incorporates an area 50
meters wide by 250 meters long . . .
exposing ceramics, FAR, debitage, bone,
and large metate fragments . . . . Of
significance, a suspicious bone fragment
collected from the site for identification
