the direction of Philip Wilke. The field
school consisted of the student
excavation of archaeological site CA–
SBR–1577 (formerly CA–SBR–911 and
SBCM–65). The site was first recorded
by Gerald Smith in 1940 as a ‘‘large
campsite on [a] terrace overlooking [the
Santa Ana] riverbed.’’ Objects such as
manos, metates, cogstones, and
projectile points had previously been
reported by residents on the surface of
the site. The students excavated a total
of 6 units to an average depth of 70cm.
A total of 3,092 items were cataloged
and housed at the University of
California, Riverside, under Accession
Number 59. During the excavation,
students uncovered a human burial in
Unit 1, which was misidentified as
faunal remains. In 2024, at the request
of tribal representatives, an osteologist
reviewed the collection and identified
the remains as human. Tribal
representatives also identified the
objects in the collection as being
associated funerary objects. These
objects included ceramic sherds, glass
objects, lithic materials, metal objects,
botanical materials, unmodified shell,
fire-altered rock, and geological
materials. Based on biological
information, the human remains were
determined to be Native American.
Archaeologists have asserted that
Serrano peoples have continuously
occupied the San Bernardino Mountains
and the Santa Ana River Watershed for
up to 5,000–6,000 years BP.
Ethnographer John Peabody Harrington
recorded several Serrano place names
throughout the Watershed during his
interviews with Yuhaaviatam leader,
Santos Manuel in 1918. Manuel told
Harrington that the Santa Ana River is
called hu’napat patr, meaning ‘‘bears
water,’’ and a Serrano village, Junubabit,
was situated on the Santa Ana River’s
southeast bank in today’s Colton, CA.
Santos Manuel’s testimony and
Traditional Knowledge identify Colton
and the surrounding region as within
Serrano Ancestral Territory since time
immemorial, sharing a group identity
with the human remains taken from
Morgan’s Bluff.
Cultural Affiliation
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:

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
In accordance with the Native
American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the

Museum and the items collected during
his tenure are referred to as the Father
Felix Nolte collection. The collections
from Benedictine College were
transferred to the University of Kansas
Museum of Anthropology (KUMA) in
1998. KUMA closed to the public in
August 2002 and the collections were
renamed the Anthropological Research
and Cultural Collections (ARCC) in July
2005. The collections were then
transferred internally within the
University of Kansas from the ARCC to
the Spencer Museum of Art in January
2007.
There is no known presence of any
potentially hazardous substances used
to treat the cultural item mentioned in
this notice.
Abstract of Information Available
Determinations
The University of Kansas has
determined that:
• The one unassociated funerary
object described in this notice is
reasonably believed to have been placed
intentionally with or near human
remains, and are connected, either at the
time of death or later as part of the death
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 Cheyenne and
Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma.
A total of one cultural item has been
requested for repatriation. The one
unassociated funerary object is a silver
ring. The ring was taken from an
Arapaho man named Wox-Ei-Bet’, also
known as Walks-a-Bed, after having
been killed by an individual known
only as ‘‘K-’’in 1874 at Camp Supply,
Indian Country—present day Fort
Supply, Oklahoma. Wox-Ei-Bet’ had a
great-great-great-grandson who is related
to the Birdshead Family of the Southern
Arapaho in Oklahoma. The Birdshead
family has deferred to the Cheyenne and
Arapaho Tribes, Oklahoma on this
repatriation.
The ring was given to the Benedictine
College Museum in Atchison, KS by a
person identified as R. Kitching, likely
in the 1920s. Father Felix Nolte was the
curator of the Benedictine College
