SUMMARY: In accordance with the Native 

American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the Fowler 

Museum at the University of California 

Los Angeles (Fowler Museum at UCLA), 

has completed an inventory of human 

remains and has determined that there 

is a cultural affiliation between the 

human remains and Indian Tribes or 

Native Hawaiian organizations in this 

notice. The human remains were 

removed from Orange County, CA. 

DATES: Repatriation of the human 

remain in this notice may occur on or

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 Fowler 

Museum at UCLA. 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 Fowler Museum at UCLA. 

Description 

Human remains representing, at 

minimum, one individual were removed 

from Orange County, CA. The ancestor 

was transferred from Catherine Asper to 

Renatta Russell in 1975 along with a 

typed letter stating that they were found 

on a golf course in Aliso Beach. Russell 

then mailed the ancestor to Dr. Berger, 

Director of the UCLA Radiocarbon 

Laboratory in 1976. In 1994 after UCLA 

closed the Laboratory many of the 

collections were transferred to UC 

Riverside’s Radiocarbon Laboratory. In 

2019, after the retirement of Professor 

Erwin Taylor, UCR inventoried all the 

materials and returned collections to 

UCLA including this ancestral remain, 

assigned catalog number PC#618A. In 

2021 UCLA determined that there was 

sufficient reason to assume control and 

in consultation with local archaeologists 

and tribal members that the individual 

represented by PC#618A may have been 

taken from ORA–9. No lineal 

descendant can be determined. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Cultural Affiliation 

The human remains 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 and expert opinion. 

Determinations 

Pursuant to NAGPRA and its 

implementing regulations, and after 

consultation with the appropriate 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations, the Fowler Museum at 

UCLA has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry. 

• There is a relationship of shared 

group identity that can be reasonably 

traced between the human remains 

described in this notice and the 

Pechanga Band of Indians (previously 

listed as Pechanga Band of Luiseno 

Mission Indians of the Pechanga 

Reservation, California). 

Requests for Repatriation 

Written requests for repatriation of the 

human remains in this notice must be 

sent to the Responsible Official 

identified in ADDRESSES. Requests for 

repatriation may be submitted by: 

1. Any one or more of the Indian 

Tribes identified in this notice and, if 

joined to a request from one or more of 

the Indian Tribes, the Juaneno Band of 

Mission Indians Acjachemen Nation— 

Belardes; Juaneno Band of Mission 

Indians Acjachemen Nation 84A; and 

the Gabrielino/Tongva Nation. 

2. Any lineal descendant, Indian 

Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization 

not identified in this notice who shows, 

by a preponderance of the evidence, that 

the requestor is a lineal descendant or 

a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization. 

Repatriation of the human remains in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after April 3, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

the Fowler Museum at UCLA must 

determine the most appropriate 

requestor prior to repatriation. Requests 

for joint repatriation of the human 

remains are considered a single request 

and not competing requests. The Fowler 

Museum at UCLA is responsible for 

sending a copy of this notice to the 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations identified in this notice. 

This notice was submitted before the 

effective date of the revised regulations
