Description 

Human remains representing, at 

minimum, one individual were 

collected at the Sherman Institute in 

Riverside County, CA. The human 

remains are hair clippings collected 

from one individual who was recorded 

as being 18 years old and identified as 

‘‘Paiute.’’ Samuel R. Gilliam took the 

hair clippings at the Sherman Institute 

between 1930 and 1933. Gilliam sent 

the hair clippings to George Woodbury, 

who donated the hair clippings to the 

PMAE in 1935. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The human remains in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or 

cultures. There is a relationship of 

shared group identity between the 

identifiable earlier groups, tribes, 

peoples, or cultures and one or more 

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations. The following types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: kinship and 

anthropological. 

Determinations

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate lineal 

descendants, Indian Tribes, and Native 

Hawaiian organizations, the PMAE has 

determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry.

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 California State 

University, Los Angeles. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the

Description 

A minimum of two ancestors were 

removed from Los Angeles County, CA. 

Located in the City of Carson, CA–LAN– 

98 is the site of Suangna, a known 

Gabrielino-Tongva village. According to 

one source, it may have been occupied 

as late as 1813 (McCawley, 1996). 

Another source notes that, based on 

artifact comparisons, CA–LAN–98 was 

occupied for approximately 600 years, 

from A.D. 1200–1800 (Eggers, 1977:44). 

It was first excavated by Racer in 1910. 

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Hal 

Eberhart from LA City College and Ken 

Kuykendall and A. Van D. Eggers from 

Dominquez College conducted 

excavations there, as did Charles Irwin 

of the Bowers Museum in 1972–1973. 

The collection from CA–LAN–98 at 

California State University, Los Angeles 

is assumed to have arrived in the late 

1960s or early 1970s with Hal Eberhart, 

at that time a faculty member. (No 

reports or documents regarding this 

collection have been found at California 

State University, Los Angeles.) As no 

current faculty have examined the 

human remains, the following 

descriptions derive solely from box and 

bag labels. One bag is labeled ‘‘Watson 

Site, Burial #1’’ and another is labeled 

‘‘Watson Site, Burial #2.’’ There is also 

one small bag labeled ‘‘Skull fragments, 

no location, Watson’’ along with what 

appears to be added, in faint pencil, 

‘‘associated with Burial #1.’’ No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

(Additional collections from CA–LAN– 

98 are housed at California State 

University, Dominguez Hills, and a 

master’s thesis from California State 

University, Fullerton indicates that 

additional materials from this site are 

curated with the Pacific Coast 

Archaeological Society (Graling, 2004).) 

Cultural Affiliation 

The ancestors in this notice are 

connected to one or more identifiable 

earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or 

cultures. There is a relationship of 

shared group identity between the 

identifiable earlier groups, tribes, 

peoples, or cultures and one or more 

Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations. The following types of 

information were used to reasonably 

trace the relationship: geographical, 

archeological, and expert opinion. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, California State 

University, Los Angeles has determined 

that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

ancestors described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of at 

least two individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• 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 ancestors 

described in this notice and the Santa 

Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians, 

California and the Soboba Band of 

Luiseno Indians, California. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Written requests for repatriation of the 

ancestors in this notice must be sent to 

the Responsible Officials identified in 

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 and, if joined to 

a request from one or more of the Indian 

Tribes, the following non-federally 

recognized Indian groups: the 

Gabrieleno Band of Mission IndiansKizh Nation; Gabrieleno/Tongva San 

Gabriel Band of Mission Indians; 

Gabrielino/Tongva Nation; Gabrielino 

Tongva Indians of California Tribal 

Council (Bellflower and Simi Valley); 

and the Gabrielino-Tongva Tribe. 

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.
