History and Description of the Remains 

In 1974 and 1975, human remains 

representing, at minimum, three 

individuals were removed from the 

Sihugatic site, which is located on 

private property along Whiskey Creek, 

between the town of South Fork and 

Redinger Lake in Madera County, CA. 

Fresno City College Anthropology 

instructor Don Wren led a field class 

that excavated the site. In January 2017, 

funded by a 2016 NAGPRA 

Consultation/Documentation grant 

awarded to the State Center Community 

College District, an osteological 

examination of the faunal collections 

was conducted to determine if human 

remains were present. That examination 

resulted in the identification of the 

human remains described in this notice. 

The human remains belong to one adult 

and two sub-adults of indeterminate 

sex. These individuals are represented 

by 317 bone and tooth fragments, and 

six teeth. No known individuals were 

identified. The nine associated funerary 

objects are three steatite beads, one lot 

bone bead fragments, one lot shell bead 

fragments, one glass bead, and three 

steatite fragments. 

Determinations Made by the State 

Center Community College District— 

Fresno City College 

Officials of the State Center 

Community College District—Fresno 

City College have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of three 

individuals of Native American ancestry 

based on archeological context. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the nine objects described in this notice 

are reasonably believed to have been 

placed with or near individual human 

remains at the time of death or later as 

part of the death rite or ceremony. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there 

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the Native American human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

and the Northfork Rancheria of Mono 

Indians of California, based on 

geographic information and oral 

tradition. 

Additional Requestors and Disposition 

Lineal descendants or representatives 

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice
