Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the University of
California, Riverside has determined
that:
• The eight lots of cultural items
described above have ongoing historical,
traditional, or cultural importance
central to the Native American group or
culture itself, rather than property
owned by an individual.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the cultural items and
the Pechanga Band of Indians
(Previously listed as Pechanga Band of
Luiseno Mission Indians of the
Pechanga Reservation, California).
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for
repatriation of the cultural items in this
notice must be sent to the Responsible
Official identified in ADDRESSES.
Requests for repatriation may be
submitted by any lineal descendant,
Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
who shows, 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 cultural items in
this notice to a requestor may occur on
or after October 30, 2023. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the University of California, Riverside
must determine the most appropriate
requestor prior to repatriation. Requests
for joint repatriation of the cultural
items are considered a single request
and not competing requests. The
University of California, Riverside is

Description
In 1940–1941, human remains
representing, at a minimum, 19
individuals were removed from the
Bayou Goula Mounds site (16IV011), in
Iberville Parish, LA, by Edward Doran
during an excavation undertaken as a
joint project between Louisiana State
University (LSU) and the Federal Works
Project Administration. These human
remains belong to eight adults, six
juveniles, and five individuals of
indeterminate age. Sex could not be
determined for any of these individuals.
The 56 associated funerary objects are
29 projectile points (one is a fragment),
10 brass/copper tinkling cones, two
brass buttons (both broken on seam),
one brass bell (missing clapper), nine
historic glass beads, two tubular copper
beads, two quartz crystals, and one lot
consisting of sherds from a small Owens
Punctuated vessel.
In 1977, human remains representing,
at a minimum, one individual, were
removed from the Bayou Goula/
Mugulasha Village site (16IV134) in
Iberville Parish, LA, by Glen Fredlund,
during research for his M.A. thesis at
LSU. In 2016, these remains were
transferred from Fredlund’s possession
to the LSUMNS. The fragmentary
cranial remains, which were found
entangled among the roots of a fallen
tree, belong to an adult of indeterminate
sex. The 225 associated funerary objects
are: 223 historic glass beads, one Florida
cut crystal bead, and one cube of galena.
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,

traced between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice and the Jena Band of
Choctaw Indians; Mississippi Band of
Choctaw Indians; and The Choctaw
Nation of Oklahoma.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the

and associated funerary objects in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or
after October 30, 2023. If competing

AHUR 116A (Unknown Site), AHUR
116B (Unknown Site), AHUR 117
(Unknown Site), AHUR 118A (‘‘Arroyo

bones, one lot consisting of pottery
sherds, an Elko side-notched point, a
Parowan point, one lot consisting of
