SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA. The
determinations in this notice are the
sole responsibility of the University of

information on the determinations in
this notice, including the results of

SUMMARY:
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 ceramic sherds,
one lot of glass objects, one lot of lithic
materials, one lot of metal objects, one
lot of botanical materials, one lot of
unmodified shell, one lot of fire-altered
rock, and one lot of geological materials.
In 1978, the University of California,
Riverside Department of Anthropology
led an archaeological field school under

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:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
remains of one individual 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 Morongo Band of
Mission Indians, California and the
Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation
(previously listed as San Manuel Band
of Mission 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
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 January 29, 2025. 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.

objects are missing, and California State
University, Sacramento continues to
look for them. The funerary objects were
donated to California State University,
Sacramento by the estate of Anthony
Zallio in the 1950s. The circumstances
around their collection are unknown.
They have since been housed at the
University under accessions 81–172.12
and 81–172.16.
