Abstract of Information Available 

Based on the information available, 

human remains representing, at least, 

one individual have been reasonably 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. Between 1932–1933, 

human remains were gifted to George C. 

Hatch by an acquaintance while 

attending college in Massachusetts. 

According to Mr. Hatch, the 

acquaintance who gifted him the remans 

said that he had been at an ‘‘Indian 

mound’’ [location unknown] dig a year 

or so earlier and acquired the remains 

then. Mr. Hatch donated the remains to 

the San Diego Museum of Man (now 

Museum of Us) in November of 1982. 

Cultural Affiliation 

Based on the information available 

and the results of consultation, cultural 

affiliation is reasonably identified by the 

geographical location or acquisition 

history of the human remains described 

in this notice. 

Determinations 

The Museum of Us has determined 

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of one individual of Native 

American ancestry.

between the human remains described 

in this notice and the Eastern Band of
