collection (accession 22). These
funerary objects are under the control of
the BIA and in the physical custody of
the University of California, Riverside.
The original notice listed human
remains and did not list any associated
funerary objects. Tribal representatives
have reviewed the remaining objects in
the collection and have identified
funerary objects. The five associated
funerary objects are one lot consisting of
animal bones, one lot consisting of
ceramic sherds, one lot consisting of
lithics, one lot consisting of
mineralogical objects, and one lot
consisting of unmodified shells.

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the BIA has determined
that:
• The human remains represent the
physical remains of one individual of
Native American ancestry.
• The five lots of objects 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.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice and the Agua Caliente Band
of Cahuilla Indians of the Agua Caliente
Indian Reservation, California.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the

by a preponderance of the evidence, that
the requestor is a lineal descendant or
a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or
Native Hawaiian organization.
Repatriation of the human remains
and associated funerary objects in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or
after September 18, 2023. If competing
