owned by an individual. Officials of the 

Forest Service also have determined 

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (2), 

there is a relationship of shared group 

identity that can be reasonably traced 

between the objects of cultural 

patrimony and the Confederated Salish 

& Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Indian 

Reservation, Montana. 

Representatives of any other Indian 

tribe that believes itself to be culturally 

affiliated with the objects of cultural 

patrimony should contact Paul 

Bradford, Forest Supervisor, United 

States Department of Agriculture, Forest 

Service, Kootenai National Forest, 1101 

Highway 2 West, Libby, MT 59923, 

telephone (406) 293–6211, before 

November 10, 2008. Repatriation of the 

objects of cultural patrimony to the 

Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes 

of the Flathead Indian Reservation, 

Montana may proceed after that date if 

no additional claimants come forward. 

The Kootenai National Forest is 

responsible for notifying the 

Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes 

of the Flathead Indian Reservation, 

Montana that this notice has been 

published.

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

Notice is here given in accordance 

with the Native American Graves 

Protection and Repatriation Act 

(NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C. 3003, of the 

completion of an inventory of human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

in the possession of the San Diego 

Archaeological Center, San Diego, CA. 

The human remains and associated 

funerary objects were removed from 

archeological sites CA–SDI–8629 and 

CA–SDI–8639H in San Diego County, 

CA. 

This notice is published as part of the 

National Park Service’s administrative 

responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 

U.S.C. 3003 (d)(3). The determinations 

in this notice are the sole responsibility 

of the museum, institution, or Federal 

agency that has control of the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

A detailed assessment of the human 

remains was made by San Diego 

Archaeological Center professional staff 

in consultation with representatives of 

the Luiseno Nation, which is 

represented by the La Jolla Band of 

Luiseno Mission Indians of the La Jolla 

Reservation, California; Pala Band of 

Luiseno Mission Indians of the Pala 

Reservation, California; Pauma Band of 

Luiseno Mission Indians of the Pauma 

& Yuima Reservation, California; 

Pechanga Band of Luiseno Mission 

Indians of the Pechanga Reservation, 

California; Rincon Band of Luiseno 

Mission Indians of the Rincon 

Reservation, California; Soboba Band of 

Luiseno Indians, California; TwentyNine Palms Band of Luiseno Mission 

Indians of California; and San Luis Rey 

Band of Mission Indians, a nonfederally recognized Indian group. 

In 1981, human remains representing 

a minimum of one individual were 

removed from archeological sites CA– 

SDI–8629 and CA–SDI–8639H near 

Warner Springs in San Diego County, 

CA, as part of an archeological 

excavation performed in compliance 

with the California Environmental 

Quality Act (CEQA). On May 10, 2006, 

the collection was accessioned by the 

San Diego Archaeological Center, and 

assessed for objects eligible for 

repatriation in accordance with 

NAGPRA. No known individual was 

identified. The six associated funerary 

objects are one chipped stone projectile 

point, four shell beads and one cooking 

stone. 

The sites are located on the U.S. 

Geographical Survey topographic map 

of Warner Springs. The Warner Springs 

Ranch is located in the eastern part of 

San Diego County. The site falls within 

traditional Cupeno territory and is 

considered to be part of the 

ethnohistoric village of Cupa. The 

reporting archeologist surmised that 

artifacts from the test units gave a clear 

impression that the deposits relate to 

Late Prehistoric and historic times. 

Descendants of the Cupeno Nation 

(Cupa, Kuupangaxwichem) reside on 

the Pala reservation. The Pala 

reservation is also home to the Pala 

Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the 

Pala Reservation, California, which is a 

member of the Luiseno Nation. 

The Luiseno Nation is represented by 

the La Jolla Band of Luiseno Mission 

Indians of the La Jolla Reservation, 

California; Pala Band of Luiseno 

Mission Indians of the Pala Reservation, 

California; Pauma Band of Luiseno 

Mission Indians of the Pauma & Yuima 

Reservation, California; Pechanga Band

Indians of the Rincon Reservation, 

California; Soboba Band of Luiseno 

Indians, California; Twenty-Nine Palms 

Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of 

California; and San Luis Rey Band of 

Mission Indians, a non-federally 

recognized Indian group. 

Officials of the San Diego 

Archaeological Center have determined 

that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001 (9–10), 

the human remains described above 

represent the physical remains of one 

individual of Native American ancestry. 

Officials of the San Diego 

Archaeological Center also have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001 (3)(A), the six objects 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. Lastly, officials of the San 

Diego Archaeological Center have 

determined that, pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 

3001 (2), there is a relationship of 

shared group identity that can be 

reasonably traced between the Native 

American human remains and 

associated funerary objects and the 

Luiseno Nation, which is represented by 

the La Jolla Band of Luiseno Mission 

Indians of the La Jolla Reservation, 

California; Pala Band of Luiseno 

Mission Indians of the Pala Reservation,
