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 Autry Museum 

of the American West and San 

Bernardino County Museum, and 

additional information on the 

determinations in this notice, including

Abstract of Information Available 

A total of 227 lots of cultural items 

have been requested for repatriation. 

The 227 unassociated funerary objects 

are 56 lots of ceramic material, 15 lots 

of faunal bone, 11 lots of shell material, 

108 lots of flaked stone, 32 lots of 

ground stone, four lots of organic 

material, and one lot of metal cultural 

items. In 1947, three field trips (March, 

April, and May) were made by the 

Archaeological Survey Association of 

Southern California (ASA) to Moody 

Springs (CA–LAn–83) through the 

leadership of Howard Arden Edwards. 

These field trips to Moody Springs were 

made up of just Mr. Edwards and one 

other person and were given a 1.S 

accession number. The Southwest 

Museum (1.S) collection consists of 

cultural items collected in March of 

1947. San Bernardino County Museum 

(SBCM) also obtained a small group of 

objects from Moody Springs, which was 

given the catalog number SBCM–818 

(CA–LAn–83). It is unclear why or how 

SBCM–818 was disenfranchised from 

the rest of the collection, though there 

were many instances of collection 

sharing between the Southwest Museum 

(now part of the Autry Museum) and 

SBCM during this period. No ancestors 

are found in the collection SBCM 

houses. 

Determinations 

The Autry Museum of the American 

West and San Bernardino County 

Museum has determined that: 

• The 227 lots unassociated funerary 

objects described above are reasonably 

believed to have been placed 

intentionally with or near individual 

human remains, and are connected, 

either 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 an individual or 

individuals with cultural affiliation to 

an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the cultural items described in 

this notice and the Yuhaaviatam of San 

Manuel Nation (previously listed as San 

Manuel Band of Mission Indians, 

California). 

Requests for Repatriation 

Additional, written requests for 

repatriation of the cultural items in this 

notice must be sent to the authorized 

representative identified in this notice 

under ADDRESSES. Requests for 

repatriation may be submitted by 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 cultural items in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after December 26, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

the Autry Museum of the American 

West and San Bernardino County 

Museum must determine the most 

appropriate requestor prior to 

repatriation. Requests for joint 

repatriation of the cultural items are 

considered a single request and not 

competing requests. The Autry Museum 

of the American West and San 

Bernardino County Museum is 

responsible for sending a copy of this 

notice to the Indian Tribes and Native 

Hawaiian organizations identified in 

this notice and to any other consulting
