American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the
University of California, Riverside has

remains and associated funerary objects
and has determined that there is a
cultural affiliation between the human
remains and associated funerary objects
and Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations in this notice.
SUMMARY:
Repatriation of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
in this notice may occur on or after June
24, 2024.

Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
one individual have been reasonably
identified. The eight associated funerary
objects are one lot of ceramics, one lot
of lithic objects, one lot of animal bone,
one lot of unmodified shell, one lot of
shell beads, one lot of quartz crystal,
one lot of botanical remains, and one
stone pipe. In 1972, Christopher
Chaloupka, a student of archaeology at
the University of California, Riverside,
conducted a survey of Martinez Canyon,
which runs about 15 km through the
Santa Rosa Mountains in the Coachella
Valley. Chaloupka conducted surface
surveys of the canyon over the course of
a year with the goal of documenting
archaeological sites. In the process of
his survey, Chaloupka collected objects
from the surface of the canyon which
were compiled into a collection and
accessioned at UCR under accession
#15. From several locations in the
canyon Chaloupka collected bone
fragments that were identified decades
later in 2024 during tribal consultation
by an osteologist as being cremated
human remains. Tribal representatives
also identified a number of objects in
the collection as being funerary and
ceremonial.
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation cultural
affiliation is clearly identified by the
information available about the human
remains and associated funerary objects
described in this notice.
Determinations
The University of California,
Riverside has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• The eight objects described in this
notice are reasonably believed to have
been placed intentionally with or near
individual human remains at the time of
death or later as part of the death rite
or ceremony.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice and the Torres Martinez
Desert Cahuilla Indians, California.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the
authorized representative identified in
this notice under ADDRESSES. Requests
for repatriation may be submitted by:

1. Any one or more of the Indian
Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations

2. 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 human remains
and associated funerary objects in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or
after June 24, 2024. 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 human
remains and associated funerary objects
are considered a single request and not
competing requests. The University of
California, Riverside is responsible for
sending a copy of this notice to the
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
eight individuals have been reasonably
identified. The six associated funerary
objects were found in association with
two burials. Two concentrations of
amorphous silver flecking that
measured approximately 5 cm in
diameter were found at the left shoulder
area and at the mid-abdominal area of
one burial. Another burial had a total of
four copper buttons found in association
with a likely male adult. The remaining
six burials did not have any associated
funerary objects.
In 2023, human remains representing
75 individuals were archaeologically
excavated from a known early
nineteenth-century cemetery, McGary’s
Burial Ground (Archaeological Site
12VG2126), in downtown Evansville,
Vanderburgh County, IN. These human
remains are represented by individual
burials. The burials consisted of infants
through old adults who, based on the
recovered cultural materials, were most
likely interred from 1816 through 1829.
The identities of all exhumed
individuals could not be determined.
Due to poor preservation, physical
analysis of the remains was limited, and
biological affinity could not be assessed
for most of the individuals. Although,
morphological characteristics from
dental elements examined indicate
American Indian ancestry for eight
individuals. Based on the information
available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation for the eight
individuals of American Indian ancestry
is reasonably identified by the
geographical location of the cemetery
described in this notice. Specifically,
southern Indiana is known to have been
occupied by the people of the Miami
and Peoria Tribes before their removal
from Indiana in the early and mid-19th
century. Historical and ethnographic
documents also place the Delaware and
Shawnee in southern Indiana during the
early historic periods (16th through 18th
centuries) and they were present

There were no known potentially
hazardous substances used to treat any
of the human remains or associated
funerary objects.
