Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
for a federal relicensing project of the
Oroville Dam. CA–BUT–2216 was
identified during these surveys.
The 69 lots of associated funerary
objects are one lot of cores, one lot of
flake tools, one lot of milling slabs, one
lot of miscellaneous stones, one lot of
shell, two lots of cobble tools, two lots
of handstones, two lots of soil samples,
seven lots of bifaces, and 51 lots of
debitage. Human remains from CA–
BUT–53, CA–BUT–84, CA–BUT–90,
CA–BUT–98, CA–BUT–131, and CA–
BUT–157 were included in 73 FR
20937, April 17, 2008; however,
additional collections were identified
from the same excavations and
subsequent consultations identified the
new collections in this Notice as
associated funerary objects.
All the sites identified in this notice
were dated near the time of excavation
by the lead archaeologist; these dates are
attributed to sequences linked to Maidu
people. The geographical location of
these sites is consistent with both the
aboriginal lands of historically
documented Maidu and KonKow.
KonKow people are represented in part
today by the KonKow Valley Band of
Maidu Indians, a California Tribe
identified by the Native American
Heritage Commission as culturally and
historically affiliated to the geographical
location identified in this notice.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is reasonably identified by the
tribal traditional knowledge,
geographical location, and acquisition
history of the associated funerary
objects described in this notice.
Determinations
The California Department of Parks
and Recreation and the California
Department of Water Resources has
determined that:
• The 22,767 lots of 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 associated funerary objects
described in this notice and the Berry
Creek Rancheria of Maidu Indians of
California; Enterprise Rancheria of
Maidu Indians of California; and the
Mooretown Rancheria of Maidu 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

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 November 4, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the California Department of Parks and
Recreation and the California
Department of Water Resources 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 California
Department of Parks and Recreation and
the California Department of Water
Resources are responsible for sending a
copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes
and Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice.

CA-BUT-2216
In 2002, the California Department of Parks and Recreation oversaw
site surveys with Sacramento State University and Sonoma State
University for a federal relicensing project of the Oroville Dam. CA-
BUT-2216 was identified during these surveys.
The 69 lots of associated funerary objects are one lot of cores,
one lot of flake tools, one lot of milling slabs, one lot of
miscellaneous stones, one lot of shell, two lots of cobble tools, two
lots of handstones, two lots of soil samples, seven lots of bifaces,
and 51 lots of debitage. Human remains from CA-BUT-53, CA-BUT-84, CA-
BUT-90, CA-BUT-98, CA-BUT-131, and CA-BUT-157 were included in 73 FR
20937, April 17, 2008; however, additional collections were identified
from the same excavations and subsequent consultations identified the
new collections in this Notice as associated funerary objects.
All the sites identified in this notice were dated near the time of
excavation by the lead archaeologist; these dates are attributed to
sequences linked to Maidu people. The geographical location of these
sites is consistent with both the aboriginal lands of historically
documented Maidu and KonKow. KonKow people are represented in part
today by the KonKow Valley Band of Maidu Indians, a California Tribe
identified by the Native American Heritage Commission as culturally and
historically affiliated to the geographical location identified in this
notice.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the tribal traditional
knowledge, geographical location, and acquisition history of the
associated funerary objects described in this notice.
Determinations
The California Department of Parks and Recreation and the
California Department of Water Resources has determined that:
The 22,767 lots of 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 associated
funerary objects described in this notice and the Berry Creek Rancheria
of Maidu Indians of California; Enterprise Rancheria of Maidu Indians
of California; and the Mooretown Rancheria of Maidu 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
[[Page 80929]]
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 identified in this notice.
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 November 4, 2024.
If competing requests for repatriation are received, the California
Department of Parks and Recreation and the California Department of
Water Resources 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 California Department of Parks and Recreation
and the California Department of Water Resources are responsible for
sending a copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.
