Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing, at least,
27, individuals have been identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
In 1875, human remains representing
a minimum of five individuals were
removed from Avila Landing, San Luis
Obispo County, California by James
Terry. The AMNH purchased the
remains from Terry in 1891 and
accessioned them that same year. No
associated funerary objects were
present.
Prior to 1891, human remains
representing a minimum of five
individuals were removed from Point
Mugu, Ventura County, California, by
Stephen Bowers, who later sold them to
James Terry. The AMNH purchased the
remains from Terry in 1891 and
accessioned them that same year. No
associated funerary objects were
present.
On February 12, 1880, human remains
representing a minimum of two
individuals were removed from Santa
Barbara County, California, by Stephen
Bowers, who later sold them to James
Terry. The AMNH purchased the
remains from Terry in 1891 and
accessioned them that same year. No
associated funerary objects were
present.
In April of 1916, human remains
representing a minimum of 14
individuals were removed from El
Capitán Beach, Santa Barbara County,
California, by E.C. Tripp. These remains
were purchased by R.G. Hazard, who
donated them to the American Museum
of Natural History in 1917. The AMNH
accessioned these remains that same
year. No associated funerary objects
were present.
Between 1936–1937, human remains
representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from a
location 2 miles south of Lompoc,
California. This site is likely Hondo
Beach Village. The remains were gifted
to the American Museum of Natural
History by Richard L. Casanova in 1937,
and they were accessioned that same
year. Casanova described associated
funerary objects in his letters to the
Museum, however they were not
accessioned by the Museum, and their
current whereabouts are unknown.
Based on available information and
tribal consultation, these remains are
affiliated with the Santa Ynez Band of
Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa
Ynez Reservation, California. The
following types of information were
used to determine affiliation:
geographical, historical,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
anthropological, linguistic,
archaeological, and Native American
traditional knowledge.
While it no longer does so, in the past,
the Museum applied potentially
hazardous pesticides to items in the
collections. Museum records do not list
specific objects treated or which of
several chemicals used were applied to
a particular item. Therefore, those
handling this material should follow the
advice of industrial hygienists or
medical personnel with specialized
training in occupational health or with
potentially hazardous substances.
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 described in this notice.
Determinations
The American Museum of Natural
History has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of 27 individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• There is a connection between the
human remains described in this notice
and the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash
Mission Indians of the Santa Ynez
Reservation, California.

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
an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization with cultural affiliation.
