Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing at least one
individual has been reasonably
identified. No associated funerary
objects have been identified. This site is
in the northwest part of San Diego
County near the City of Vista. The site
(CA–SDI–5775) is on a property located
at N3668457 E476305 and was surveyed
06/06/1978. The site was tested in June
1980 by CRM firms Mooney, Jones, and
Stokes and in 1978 by RECON (M.J.
Hatley and Carol Walker) as part of a
cultural assessment program before
development of the property. The report
described the site as measuring about 50
meters north-south and 40 meters eastwest, consisting of dark midden of at
least 12–18 inches in depth with flaked
lithic tools, flakes and debitage, faunal
shell and bone, and ceramics. The
collection was brought to the San Diego
Archaeological Center on 08/26/2006 for
curation. The human remains were
identified while preparing the collection
for permanent curation. To confirm that
it was human, the bone was inspected
by the San Diego County Office of the
Medical Examiner. The items were
removed from the collection and placed
in the Center’s NAGPRA Vault awaiting
Tribal notification and possible
repatriation following their
determination that they were human.

Abstract of Information Available
A total of one cultural item has been
requested for repatriation. The one
unassociated funerary object is a
political peace medal, a Jefferson Peace
Medal.
Based on the information available
from both the SDSHS donor records,
collector’s notes, historical accounts,
and oral tradition, this Jefferson Peace
medal was removed from its burial
context in a Sahnish (Arikara) village in
1935 by a teenager. The political medal
in question is reasonably believed to
have been presented to the Arikara chief
Lightning Crow in 1804 by Lewis and
Clark. Upon their return to the village in
1806, the medal had been transferred to
another Arikara chief, Grey Eyes. Chief
Grey Eyes was known to have the medal
in his possession at or around the time
of this death.
The medal was retained by the family
of the teenage boy until its donation to
the SDSHS on September 17, 2004.
Recently, the family provided additional
information on the medal’s origins,
which confirmed its original
provenience from a burial context.
Despite establishing a reasonable
owner of the unassociated funerary
object, no lineal descendant was
located. At this time, SDSHS staff have
not identified any known lineal
descendant(s).
Additionally, the above-described
unassociated funerary object was not
E:\FR\FM\30OCN1.SGM
30OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 210 / Wednesday, October 30, 2024 / Notices
treated with any type of hazardous
chemicals/substances nor treated with
any type of preservation agent or
chemical while in the care and custody
of the SDSHS. It is reasonably believed
that the previously mentioned private
citizens did not treat the medal with any
type of hazardous or preservative
chemical, substance, or agent.

Determinations

rite or ceremony of a Native American
culture according to the Native
American traditional knowledge of a
lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or
Native Hawaiian organization. The
unassociated funerary object has been
identified by a preponderance of the
evidence as related to human remains,
specific individuals, or families, or
removed from a specific burial site or
burial area of an individual or
individuals with cultural affiliation to
an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the cultural item described in
this notice and the Three Affiliated
Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation,
North Dakota.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for
repatriation of the cultural item in this
notice must be sent to the authorized
representative identified in this notice

the requestor is a lineal descendant or
a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or
Native Hawaiian organization.
Repatriation of the cultural item in
this notice to a requestor may occur on
or after November 29, 2024. If
competing requests for repatriation are
received, the SDSHS must determine
the most appropriate requestor prior to
repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the cultural item are
considered a single request and not
competing requests. The SDSHS ais
responsible for sending a copy of this
