American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the 

University of California, Riverside has 

amended a Notice of Inventory 

Completion published in the Federal 

Register on May 2, 2003. This notice 

amends the number of associated 

funerary objects and the cultural 

affiliation in a collection removed from 

Riverside County, CA. 

DATES: Repatriation of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

in this notice may occur on or after 

September 22, 2023.

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 

California, Riverside. The National Park 

Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

Additional information on the 

amendments and determinations in this 

notice, including the results of 

consultation, can be found in the 

inventory or related records held by the 

University of California, Riverside. 

Amendment 

This notice amends the 

determinations published in a Notice of 

Inventory Completion in the Federal 

Register (68 FR 23495, May 2, 2003). 

Repatriation of the items in the original 

Notice of Inventory Completion has not 

occurred. This amendment is being 

made to reflect a change in cultural 

affiliation and the identification of 

newly discovered associated funerary 

objects for the archeological collection 

CA–RIV–102 (accession 58). 

The Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians, 

California have been newly identified as 

being culturally affiliated with CA–RIV– 

102. Also, objects have been newly 

identified as associated funerary objects 

(previously, no associated funerary 

objects were identified). The 6,600 

associated funerary objects are 4,003 

animal bones, one ceramic sherd, two 

pieces of clay, 16 pieces of charcoal, one 

seed pod bead, five seeds, one glass 

object, 14 fire-affected rocks, 1,201 

pieces of lithic materials, 43 flaked 

stone tools, 87 ground stone tools, 44 

crystals, one piece of ochre, six battered 

stones, two stone beads, 1,151 

unmodified lithic pieces, five shell 

beads, 12 unmodified shells, and five 

metates. 

Determinations (as Amended) 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the University of 

California, Riverside has determined 

that: 

• The human remains represent the 

physical remains of one individual of 

Native American ancestry. 

• The 6,600 objects described in this 

amended 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. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the human remains and 

associated funerary objects described in 

this notice and the Agua Caliente Band 

of Cahuilla Indians of the Agua Caliente 

Indian Reservation, California; 

Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians, 

California; Cabazon Band of Cahuilla 

Indians (Previously listed as Cabazon 

Band of Mission Indians, California); 

Cahuilla Band of Indians; Los Coyotes 

Band of Cahuilla and Cupeno Indians, 

California; Morongo Band of Mission 

Indians, California; Ramona Band of 

Cahuilla, California; Santa Rosa Band of 

Cahuilla Indians, California; Soboba 

Band of Luiseno Indians, California; and 

the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla 

Indians, California.

Repatriation of the human remains 

and associated funerary objects in this 

notice to a requestor may occur on or 

after September 22, 2023. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

the University of California, Riverside

remains and associated funerary objects 

are considered a single request and not
