SUMMARY:
Description
In 1977, human remains representing,
at minimum, five individuals were
removed from sites CA–FRE–613 (1),
CA–FRE–682 (1), CA–FRE–741 (2), and
CA–FRE–747 (1) on the Sierra National
Forest in Fresno County, CA, by Don
Wren of Fresno City College (FCC) as
part of planning for a proposed
hydroelectric project. Sites CA–FRE–
613, CA–FRE–682, CA–FRE–741, and
CA–FRE–747 lie in the Sierra Nevada
mountains and foothills on lands
managed by the Forest Service. This
area is well-documented
ethnographically as the territory of the
Holkoma people. All four sites include

features and artifacts indicative of lateprecontact occupation, and two of them
also evidence a proto-historic
occupation.
In January of 2017, an osteological
examination of the faunal remains
collected from the excavations and
curated at FCC was conducted to
determine if human remains were
present. That examination resulted in
the identification of the human remains
listed in this notice. All the human
remains are fragmentary. A total of two
bone fragments and 27 teeth,
representing a minimum of five
individuals, were identified. No known
individuals were identified. The 13
associated funerary objects are 11 beads
(five glass, three shell, two steatite, one
of unknown material) and two steatite
sherds.
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
information, archaeological information,
and geographical information.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the Sierra National Forest
has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of at least five individuals of
Native American ancestry.
• The 13 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.
• 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 Cold Springs
Rancheria of Mono Indians of
California.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the
