AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

DATES: Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian tribe or

request transfer of control of these human remains should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to History 
Colorado at the address in this notice by February 8, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Sheila Goff, History Colorado, 1200 Broadway, Denver, CO 
80203, telephone (303) 866-4531, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 under 
the control of History Colorado, Denver, CO. The human remains were 
removed from San Miguel Island, Channel Islands in Santa Barbara 
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. The National Park Service is not responsible 
for the determinations in this notice.

Consultation

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by History 
Colorado 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

    In 1913, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from San Miguel Island, Channel Islands, in Santa Barbara 
County, CA. Museum documentation does not list a specific site from 
which the human remains were removed. They were anonymously donated to 
the museum in 1930. No known individuals were identified. No associated 
funerary objects are present.
    Osteological analysis conducted at the Metropolitan State 
University Human Identification Laboratory concludes that the remains 
are of an adult female of Native American ancestry. Archaeological 
evidence and oral history indicate San Miguel Island is traditional 
territory of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission Indians of the 
Santa Ynez Reservation, California. Historical and archaeological 
findings support the continuous occupation of the island by the Chumash 
dating back several thousand years, and their relocation to the 
mainland to Spanish missions by 19th century. In 1855, the Santa Ynez 
Reservation was created for the Chumash and the Santa Ynez Band of 
Chumash was federally recognized in 1901.

Determinations Made by History Colorado

    Officials of History Colorado have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of one individual of 
Native American ancestry.
     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 Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission 
Indians of the Santa Ynez Reservation, California.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian tribe or Native 
Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to 
request transfer of control of these human remains should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to Sheila 
Goff, History Colorado, 1200 Broadway, Denver, CO 80203, (303) 866-
4531, email [email protected] by February 8, 2016. After that 
date, if no additional requestors have come forward, transfer of 
control of the human remains to may proceed.
    History Colorado is responsible for notifying the Santa Ynez Band 
of Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa Ynez Reservation, California
