Description In 1972, human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals were removed from the Trudeau Site (LMS 29–J–1) in West Feliciana Parish, LA, by Jeffrey P. Brain as part of the Lower Mississippi Survey Expedition. At that time, the Survey Expedition was a project of Harvard University. No associated funerary objects are present. Based on Native American ceramics, glass beads, and European objects recovered from LMS 29–J–1, the Trudeau site is known to have been the primary village and cemetery of the Tunica people from 1731 through 1764. Historical, ethnohistorical, and oral historical evidence summarized by Mr. Brain in his publication, Tunica Archaeology, support the proposition that the present-day descendants of the 18th century Tunica are the TunicaBiloxi Indian Tribe of Louisiana. Cultural Affiliation The human remains and associated funerary objects in this notice are connected to one or more identifiable earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or cultures. There is a relationship of shared group identity between the identifiable earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or cultures and one or more Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations. The following types of information were used to reasonably trace the relationship: anthropological, archeological, geographical, historical, and oral tradition. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Determinations 17:05 Sep 14, 2023 Dated: September 8, 2023.

In 1980, members of the UCR Archaeological Research Unit and the Archaeological Resource Management Corporation conducted excavations ahead of the construction of a flood channel in the La Quinta area of the Central Coachella Valley. The sites excavated included CA–RIV–1180, CA– RIV–119, CA–RIV–158, CA–RIV–1174, CA–RIV–1770, and CA–RIV–1838. CA– RIV–1180, or the La Quinta Cove Site, is an area well-known to contain ancestral Cahuilla cremation burials. The collections associated with the excavations were subsequently curated by the UCR Archaeological Curation Unit. In 2021, during analysis of the faunal skeletal remains in the collections, human remains were identified. Subsequent consultation with tribal representatives from multiple Cahuilla Bands resulted in the identification of funerary objects within the same collection. The 10 associated funerary objects are one lot consisting of ceramics, one lot consisting of lithics, one lot consisting of metal, one lot consisting of shell beads, one lot consisting of animal bones, one lot consisting of botanical material, one lot consisting of fire-altered rock, one lot consisting of geological materials, one lot consisting of unmodified shells, and one lot consisting of mineralogical objects.
