AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Native 

American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the 

University of California, Riverside has 

completed an inventory of human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

and has determined that there is a 

cultural affiliation between the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

and Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian 

organizations in this notice. The human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

were removed from an unknown county 

in CA. 

DATES: Repatriation of the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

in this notice may occur on or after 

March 29, 2024.

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 the University of 

California, Riverside. The National Park 

Service is not responsible for the 

determinations in this notice. 

Additional information on the 

determinations in this notice, including 

the results of consultation, can be found 

in the inventory or related records held 

by the University of California, 

Riverside. 

Description 

Human remains representing, at 

minimum, one individual were removed 

from an unknown County in CA. The V. 

Basinger Collection is believed to have 

been donated to the University of 

California, Riverside in the 1960s. The 

collection is approximately 28 banker’s 

boxes in size and contains about 600 

items. The cremated remains of at least 

one Native American ancestor are 

housed in six clay vessels in the 

collection. In his 2002 NAGPRA 

inventory, Dr. Phil Wilke of the UCR 

Anthropology Department, noted that 

the collection had been in the 

department since at least 1969. Through 

archival research, NAGPRA Staff 

uncovered information related to a 

professor of entomology, Dr. Almon Jay 

Basinger, who taught at UCR from 1923– 

196. Dr. Basinger was married to Vera 

Basinger (Lewis) who passed away in 

1950. According to historical census 

data, Vera Basinger lived in Pima 

County, AZ, in her early life on her 

family’s farm. NAGPRA Program Staff 

believe that the V. Basinger Collection 

was composed mostly of Vera’s personal 

collection and was donated by Dr. 

Almon Basinger to UCR after her death. 

Collection records list Arizona (Gila 

Bend, Rillito, Chiricahua Mountains) 

and Riverside, California for small a 

portion of the collection, while the rest 

is broadly un-provenienced. In a student 

paper likely from the 1970s, a student 

conducted an osteological analysis of 

the cremated remains yielding 

information about the possible method 

of cremation and noting that the 

individual was a young, Native 

American man from the ‘‘Southern 

California desert’’. The only 

documentation associated with the 

collection was a singular black and 

white photograph of four people 

washing pottery at what appears to be 

an archeological site. Writing on the 

reverse of the photograph appears to 

read ‘‘Washing pottery at Puye ́, 1916 

New Mexico’’. The items in the 

collection seem to be from different 

locales in the American Southwest and 

Southern California and are not all from 

the burial site where the cremation was 

reportedly removed from. The burial 

site was likely in either Riverside, 

Imperial, San Diego, or San Bernardino 

Counties. Through consultation and 

review of the funerary objects with 

various southern California/Arizona 

Tribes it was determined that the 

individual was most likely either 

Cahuilla or Yaqui. The six associated 

funerary objects are six clay vessels 

(ollas). 

Cultural Affiliation 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects 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 

information, historical information, and 

expert tribal opinion. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the University of 

California, Riverside has determined 

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The six objects described in this 

notice are reasonably believed to have

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 40 / Wednesday, February 28, 2024 / Notices 14711 

been placed with or near individual 

human remains at the time of death or 

later as part of the death rite or 

ceremony. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the human remains and 

associated funerary objects described in
