SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural 

items under the control of the Riverside 

Metropolitan Museum, Riverside, CA, 

that meet the definition of unassociated 

funerary objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in 

this notice are the sole responsibility of 

the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American cultural items. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

History and Description of the Cultural 

Item(s) 

In 1930, Samuel C. Evans purchased 

a string of shell and stone beads in a 

cloth bag from Clark’s Store, San Diego 

County, CA. In 1996, a collection of 

Native American materials (RMM Accn. 

#A1524) from the estate of Samuel C. 

Evans was donated to the Riverside 

Municipal Museum by his son Samuel 

W. Evans. This donation included the 

string of shell and stone beads in a cloth 

bag. The two unassociated funerary 

objects have been determined to be from 

the Rincon Band of Luisen ̃ o Indians 

based on cultural and historical 

evidence. In Kroeber’s Ethnography of 

the Cahuilla Indians (1908), he analyzed 

beads found in a burial at San Jacinto, 

describing them as less regular than 

other specimens. The string of beads in 

question has the characteristics of 

traditional Luisen ̃ o beads as utilized by 

the people of the Rincon Band of 

Luisen ̃o Indians. 

Information provided during 

consultations documented that Clark’s 

store in San Diego County, CA, was 

within the traditional aboriginal 

territory of the Rincon Band of Luisen ̃ o 

Indians. The Rincon Band of Luisen ̃o 

Indians Museum Specialist wrote ‘‘The 

Rincon store was located on the 

southwest corner of Pala Road (Highway 

76) and Valley Center Road and clearly 

within the traditional territory of the 

Tribe, and in immediate proximity to its 

current reservation boundaries. . . . 

The Tribe has no doubt that the string 

of bead and the bag are funerary objects 

and came from the traditional territory 

of the Rincon Band of Luisen ̃ o Indians’’

Determinations Made by the Riverside 

Metropolitan Museum 

Officials of the Riverside Metropolitan 

Museum have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), 

the two cultural items described above 

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 a Native American 

individual. 

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

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the unassociated funerary 

objects and the Rincon Band of Luiseno 

Mission Indians of the Rincon 

Reservation, California.

of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization not identified in this notice

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

here given in accordance with the 

Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 

3003, of the completion of an inventory 

of human remains under the control of 

the University of Arkansas Museum 

Collections, Fayetteville, AR. The 

human remains were removed from the 

Roden Site (34MC215), McCurtain 

County, OK. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The determinations in 

this notice are the sole responsibility of 

the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains. The National 

Park Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by the University of 

Arkansas Museum Collections 

professional staff in consultation with 

representatives of the Caddo Nation of 

Oklahoma. 

History and Description of the Remains 

Between 1976 and 1978, human 

remains representing, at minimum, 47 

individuals were removed from Roden 

Site (34MC215) in McCurtain, OK, by 

the Museum of the Red River, Gregory 

Perino, and Lester Roden. At a date 

prior to 1981, the human remains were 

sent to the University of Arkansas for 

bioarcheological analysis and 

subsequently, they were donated to 

University of Arkansas Museum 

Collections by Jerome Rose. The human 

remains consist of 13 adult males, 12 

adult females, nine children, four 

infants, and nine adults of unknown sex 

(2004–4–(1–44), 2004–4–10–1, 2 & 3, 

2004–4–22–1, 2). No known individuals 

were identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

The Roden site is located on an 

alluvial terrace of the Red River in 

southeastern Oklahoma. According to 

Perino, excavations and radiocarbon 

dates strongly correlate with a Caddo 

presence stretching from A.D. 1300 to 

1650, which is described as the 

McCurtain Phase. This date can be split 

into two periods of intense use; the first 

being approximately A.D. 1300 and the 

second occurring between A.D.1510– 

1620. The human remains are associated 

with the second phase. Descendants of 

the Caddo are members of the Caddo 

Nation of Oklahoma. 

On an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, seven 

individuals were removed from the 

Bowman/Wallace site (3LR50), Little 

River County, AR, by unknown persons. 

The human remains were donated to the 

University of Arkansas Anthropology 

Department at an unknown date. In 

2006, they were transferred to the 

University of Arkansas Museum 

Collections. No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

On an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from the 

Georgia Lake site (3OU112), Ouachita 

County, AR, by unknown persons. The 

human remains were donated to the 

University of Arkansas Anthropology 

Department at an unknown date. In 

2006, they were transferred to the 

University of Arkansas Museum 

Collections. No known individuals were 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Based on the geographic region, 

diagnostic artifacts reported at the sites, 

site organization, and methods of 

interment, the human remains removed 

from burials at the two sites described 

above date to the Fourche Maline period 

(A.D. 500–800) and/or Caddoan period
