Two non-federally recognized groups, 

the Dunlap Band of Mono Indians and 

Traditional Choinumni Tribe, were 

consulted. One non-federally recognized 

group, the Wukchumni Tribe, was 

invited to consult, but did not 

participate. Hereafter, all tribes listed in 

this section are referred to as ‘‘The 

Consulted and Notified Tribes.’’ 

History and Description of the Remains 

In the early 1990s, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from site CA– 

MAD–1785, in Madera County, CA. The 

human remains represent one adult of 

indeterminate sex, represented by four 

fragments. No known individuals were 

identified. The 12 associated funerary 

objects are: one lot of steatite sherds, six 

lots of steatite beads, and five lots of 

shell beads. 

In the early 1990s, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from site CA– 

MAD–1788, in Madera County, CA. The 

human remains represent one sub-adult 

of indeterminate sex, represented by 14 

fragments. No known individuals were 

identified. The five associated funerary 

objects are: one lot of shell fragments, 

one glass bead, one steatite bead, and 

two shell beads. 

Fresno City College instructor Don 

Wren excavated both sites for the Deer 

Creek and Fine Gold Creek Projects. In 

January 2017, an osteological 

examination of the faunal collections 

was conducted to determine if human 

remains were present. That examination 

resulted in the identification of the 

human remains described in this 

inventory. 

Determinations Made by the State 

Center Community College District— 

Fresno City College 

Officials of the State Center 

Community College District—Fresno 

City College have determined that: 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the 

human remains described in this notice 

represent the physical remains of two 

individuals of Native American ancestry 

based on archaeological context. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), 

the 17 objects described in this 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. 

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

is a relationship of shared group

Mono Indians of California and the

Indians of California, based on 

geographic information and oral 

tradition.

Park, in Tippecanoe County, IN, during 

archeological work conducted under 

Indiana Department of Historic 

Preservation and Archaeology (DHPA) 

plan 3513, permit 201022. This Phase

wetland and forest mitigation project 

associated with the SR 25 Hoosier 

Heartland Corridor (INDOT DES No. 

0901664, formerly 9802920). The 

human remains were recovered from

determined that the remains were over 

100 years old. Also notified was staff
