Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 239 / Friday, December 12, 1997 / Notices 65443

in consultation with representatives of

the Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule

River Reservation (Yokuts).

In 1978, human remains representing

five individuals were collected from site

CA-KER–2421, Kern County, CA by an

unknown individual. In 1989, this

individual donated these human

remains to the California State

University-Bakersfield. No known

individuals were identified. No

associated funerary objects are present.

In 1992, human remains representing

one individual were collected from site

CA-KER–2720 during routine screening

of soil excavated from a test unit prior

to a work project. In 1994, these human

remains were found in the collections of

California State University-Bakersfield

during laboratory procession of the

screen soils. No known individual was

identified. No associated funerary

objects are present.

Based on the skeletal morphology and

apparent age of these remains, these

individuals have been determined to be

Native American. Archeological

evidence, including continuities of

material culture, occupation sites, and

manner of interment indicate that

Yokuts people have occupied this area

for several thousand years. These

human remains are believed not to predate Yokuts occupation of this area.

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the California

State University-Bakersfield have

determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR

10.2 (d)(1), the human remains listed

above represent the physical remains of

six individuals of Native American

ancestry. Officials of the California State

University-Bakersfield 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 the Tule River Indian Tribe

of the Tule River Reservation.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Tule River Indian Tribe of the

Tule River Reservation. Representatives

of any other Indian tribe that believes

itself to be culturally affiliated with

these human remains should contact Dr.

Mark Q. Sutton, Department of

Sociology and Anthropology, California

State University-Bakersfield,

Bakersfield, CA 93311–1099; telephone:

(805) 664–33153, before January 12,

1998. Repatriation of the human

remains to the Tule River Indian Tribe

of the Tule River Reservation may begin

after that date if no additional claimants

come forward.

Dated: December 9, 1997.
