DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Notice of Inventory Completion: U.S. Department of Agriculture,
Forest Service, Cleveland National Forest, San Diego, CA
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 in the possession of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Cleveland National
Forest, San Diego, CA. The human remains were removed from Cleveland
National Forest, Riverside 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 within this notice are the sole responsibility of
the museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the
Native American human remains. The National Park Service is not
responsible for the determinations within this notice.
A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by Cleveland
National Forest professional staff in consultation with representatives
of the Luiseno Council of Elders; Pauma Band of Luiseno Mission Indians
of the Pauma & Yuima Reservation, California; Pechanga Band of Luiseno
Mission Indians of the Pechanga Reservation, California; and the Native
American Heritage Commission, Sacramento, CA.
In June 1990, human remains representing a minimum of one
individual were removed from the Tenaja Knoll site, 05-02-52-82 (CA-
RIV-3973), Cleveland National Forest, Riverside County, CA. No known
individual was identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
Excavated material culture, such as a Cottonwood projectile point
and a Tizon brownware pottery sherd, date the site to the time of
European contact. The site has been tentatively linked with the
ethnographically identified village of Palasakeuana. Ethnographic
research has provisionally identified the cultural affiliation of
Palasakeuana as Juaneno. Although no Juaneno groups are federally
recognized, they are closely related to Luiseno tribes, with whom they
share language, culture, and religion, and occupied adjacent
traditional lands.
Officials of the Cleveland National Forest 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 Cleveland National Forest have also
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 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; and Rincon Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of
the Rincon Reservation, California.
Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to
be culturally affiliated with the human remains should contact Anne S.
Fege, Forest Supervisor, Cleveland National Forest, 10845 Rancho
Bernardo Road, Suite 200, San Diego, CA, 92127 telephone (858) 673-
6180, before May 12, 2004. Repatriation of the human remains to 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; and Rincon Band of
Luiseno Mission Indians of the Rincon Reservation, California may
proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward.
The Cleveland National Forest is responsible for notifying the La
Jolla Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the La Jolla Reservation,
California; Luiseno Council of Elders; Pala Band of Luiseno Mission
Indians of the Pala Reservation, California; Pauma Band of Luiseno
[[Page 19236]]
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; and the Native American Heritage Commission,
Sacramento, CA, that this notice has been published.
Dated: March 1, 2004.
