and the U.S. Department of the Interior, 

Bureau of Indian Affairs 

Officials of the Karshner Museum and

leaders for the practice of traditional 

Native American religions by their

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), 

the one cultural item described above

Native American group or culture itself, 

rather than property owned by an 

individual. 

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), 

the four cultural items described above 

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 and 

are believed, by a preponderance of the 

evidence, to have been removed from a 

specific burial site of a Native American 

individual. 

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

is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the cultural items and the

Consultation 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by Channel Islands 

National Park professional staff in 

consultation with representatives of the 

Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission 

Indians of the Santa Ynez Reservation, 

California. 

History and Description of the Remains 

At an unknown date in the 1970s or 

1980s, human remains representing, at 

minimum, one individual were removed 

from an unknown location on Anacapa 

Island in Ventura County, CA. An 

unknown individual illegally collected 

a human cranium and mandible and 

transferred them to Dr. Donald 

Weissman DDS, a member of the faculty 

of the UCLA School of Dentistry, Dental 

Radiology Department, in the 1970s and 

1980s, for use as a teaching 

demonstration. The human remains 

were donated by the professor’s son, Dr. 

Albert Weissman, DDS, MSD, to the 

Fowler Museum at the University of 

California Los Angeles in 2017. Based 

on osteological analysis by specialists at 

the Fowler Museum, the human remains 

were identified as Native American and 

appear to be those of a young adult 

female. No known individual was 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects are present. 

Anacapa Island is 2.9 km2 and has 27 

known archeological sites, all of which 

are considered associated with the 

Chumash based on historic records, 

ethnographic place names, and material 

culture.
