Metropolitan Museum, 3580 Mission Inn Avenue, Riverside, CA 92501, 
telephone (951) 826-5792, 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 the Riverside Metropolitan Museum, Riverside, CA. The 
human remains were removed from near Coalinga, Fresno 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 the 
Riverside Metropolitan Museum professional staff in consultation with 
representatives of the Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa 
Rancheria, California.

History and Description of the Remains

    Before 1950, human remains representing, at minimum, one individual 
were removed from near Coalinga in Fresno County, CA. The human remains 
were donated to the Riverside Municipal Museum in 1968. No known 
individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are 
present.
    The human remains were determined to be Native American based on 
osteological and archeological evidence (Moser, 1998, transfer from 
Riverside Metropolitan Museum's Natural History Collection to 
Anthropology Collection, record update). Information provided during 
consultations shows that Coalinga, Fresno County, CA is within the 
traditional aboriginal territory of the Southern Yokut. Historical and 
anthropological sources state that Coalinga, Fresno County, CA, was 
inhabited by the Southern Yokut (Kroeber, 1976).

Determinations Made by the Riverside Metropolitan Museum

    Officials of the Riverside Metropolitan Museum 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.

[[Page 28265]]

     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 Rosa Indian Community of the Santa 
Rosa Rancheria, 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 remain should submit a 
written request with information in support of the request to Robyn G. 
Peterson, Ph.D., Museum Director, Riverside Metropolitan Museum, 3580 
Mission Inn Avenue, Riverside, CA 92501, telephone (951) 826-5792, 
email [email protected], by July 18, 2018. After that date, if 
no additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the 
human remains to the Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa 
Rancheria, California, may proceed.
    The Riverside Metropolitan Museum is responsible for notifying the 
Santa Rosa Indian Community of the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California, 
that this notice has been published.
