DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

National Park Service

Notice of Inventory Completion for

Native American Human Remains and

Unassociated Funerary Objects From

San Diego County, CA, in the

Possession of Southwestern College,

Chula Vista, CA

AGENCY: National Park Service.

ACTION: Notice.

Notice is hereby given in accordance

with provisions of the Native American

Graves Protection and Repatriation Act

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003 (d), of the

completion of an inventory of human

remains and unassociated funerary

objects from San Diego County, CA, in

the possession of Southwestern College,

Chula Vista, CA.

A detailed assessment of the human

remains was made by Southwestern

College professional staff and contracted

specialists in consultation with

representatives of the Barona Group of

the Capitan Grande Band of Mission

Indians, the Campo Band of Mission

Indians, the Cuyapaipe Band of Mission

Indians, the Inaja Band of Mission

Indians, the Jamul Indian Village, the La

Jolla Band of Mission Indians, the La

Posta Band of Mission Indians, the Los

Coyotes Band of Mission Indians, the

Manazita Band of Mission Indians, the

Mesa Grande Band of Mission Indians,

the Pala Band of Mission Indians, the

Rincon Band of Mission Indians, the

San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians,

the Santa Ysabel Band of Mission

Indians, the Sycuan Band of Mission

Indians, the Viejas Band of Mission

Indians.

During 1972–1983, human remains

representing a minimum of two

individuals were recovered from site

CSUSD F:5:1 during a archeology field

school conducted by Southwestern

College. No known individuals were

identified. No associated funerary

objects are present.

Approximately 150 associated

cultural items including burned animal,

bird, and sting ray bones, olivella shell

beads, quartz crystals, ceramic pipe

fragments, glass trade beads, a piece of

galena, incised stones, and one incised

‘‘turtle’’ fetish were also recovered from

site CSUSD F:5:1 during this period.

The presence of these objects are

consistent with known Kumeyaay

funerary objects, however, due to the

extreme disturbance of the site and

scattered condition of the human

remains, these objects are being

considered unassociated funerary

objects based on site reports and

consultation with the Campo Band of

Mission Indians.

These individuals have been

identified as Native American based on

manner of internment and types of

unassociated funerary objects present.

Site CSUSD F:5:1 has been identified as

a Kumeyaay occupation area (possibly

the historic village of Otay mentioned in

the records of Mission San Diego de

Alcala) based on historical documents,

continuity of funerary practice, and

cultural items at the site. Consultation

evidence presented by representatives of

the Campo Band of Mission Indians

indicates Kumeyaay people used this

site into the 1930s.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of Southwestern

College have determined that, pursuant

to 43 CFR 10.2 (d)(1), the human

remains listed above represent the

physical remains of a minimum of two

individuals of Native American

ancestry. Officials of Southwestern

College have determined that, pursuant

to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (3)(B), the

approximately 150 cultural items 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 and are

believed, by a preponderance of the

evidence, to have been removed from a

specific burial site of an Native

American individual. Lastly, officials of

Southwestern College have determined

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2),

there is a relationship of shared group

identity which can be reasonably traced

between these Native American human

remains and unassociated funerary

objects and the Campo Band of Mission

Indians.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Barona Group of the Capitan

Grande Band of Mission Indians, the

Campo Band of Mission Indians, the

Cuyapaipe Band of Mission Indians, the

Inaja Band of Mission Indians, the Jamul

Indian Village, the La Jolla Band of

Mission Indians, the La Posta Band of

Mission Indians, the Los Coyotes Band

of Mission Indians, the Manazita Band

of Mission Indians, the Mesa Grande

Band of Mission Indians, the Pala Band

of Mission Indians, the Rincon Band of

Mission Indians, the San Pasqual Band

of Mission Indians, the Santa Ysabel

Band of Mission Indians, the Sycuan

Band of Mission Indians, the Viejas

Band of Mission Indians.

Representatives of any other Indian tribe

that believes itself to be culturally

affiliated with these human remains and

unassociated funerary objects should

contact Charlotte McGowan, Professor

of Archaeology, or Marcie Sinclair,

Special Assistant to the Superintendent/

President for Human Resources & Legal

Affairs, Southwestern College, 900 Otay

Lakes Road, Chula Vista, CA 91910;

telephone: (619) 421–6700 or (619) 482–

6328, before October 14, 1997.

Repatriation of the human remains and

unassociated funerary objects to the

Campo Band of Mission Indians may

begin after that date if no additional

claimants come forward.

Dated: September 5, 1997.

Francis P. McManamon,

Departmental Consulting Archeologist,

Manager, Archeology and Ethnography

Program.
