ADDRESSES: Leslie Hartzell, Ph.D., NAGPRA Coordinator, Cultural 
Resources Division Chief, California State Parks, P.O. Box 942896, 
Sacramento, CA 94296-0001, telephone (916) 653-9946, 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 and 
associated funerary objects under the control of the California 
Department of Parks and Recreation, Sacramento, CA. The human remains 
and associated funerary objects were removed from an unknown site at 
Lake Britton, Shasta 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.

Consultation

    A detailed assessment of the human remains was made by the 
California Department of Parks and Recreation professional staff in 
consultation with

[[Page 52522]]

representatives of the Alturas Indian Rancheria, California; Pit River 
Tribe, California (includes XL Ranch, Big Bend, Likely, Lookout, 
Montgomery Creek and Roaring Creek Rancherias); Round Valley Indian 
Tribes, Round Valley Reservation, California (previously listed as the 
Round Valley Indian Tribes of the Round Valley Reservation, 
California); and the Susanville Indian Rancheria, California. The 
Redding Rancheria, California was invited to consult, but did not 
participate.

History and Description of the Remains

    In 1963, human remains representing, at minimum, two individuals 
were removed from an unknown site at Lake Britton in Shasta County, CA. 
The human remains were collected by McArthur-Burney State Park staff 
after they were reported eroding out of the shoreline approximately six 
miles from the park. No known individuals were identified. The five 
associated funerary objects are one obsidian scraper, one olivella 
bead, two bone tool fragments, and one unmodified mammal bone.
    The age of the human remains is unknown. They were determined to be 
Native American based on the associated funerary objects and geographic 
context. Archeological evidence from the Lake Britton area shows at 
least 7,500 years of occupation. The associated funerary objects are 
consistent with the period when the area would have been occupied by 
the historic or ancestral Achumawi (Pit River). Geographic affiliation 
is consistent with the historically documented boundary areas between 
the Madesiwi, Ilmawi, and Itsatawi bands. Through consultation, shared 
group identity has been traced between the human remains, associated 
funerary objects, and the Alturas Indian Rancheria, California; Pit 
River Tribe, California (includes XL Ranch, Big Bend, Likely, Lookout, 
Montgomery Creek and Roaring Creek Rancherias); Redding Rancheria, 
California; Round Valley Indian Tribes, Round Valley Reservation, 
California (previously listed as the Round Valley Indian Tribes of the 
Round Valley Reservation, California); and the Susanville Indian 
Rancheria, California, hereafter referred to as ``The Tribes.''

Determinations Made by the California Department of Parks and 
Recreation

    Officials of the California Department of Parks and Recreation have 
determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the human remains described 
in this notice represent the physical remains of two individuals of 
Native American ancestry.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A), the five objects 
described in this notice 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.
     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 Tribes.

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 and associated 
funerary objects should submit a written request with information in 
support of the request to Leslie Hartzell, Ph.D., NAGPRA Coordinator, 
Cultural Resources Division Chief, California State Parks, P.O. Box 
942896, Sacramento, CA 94296-0001, telephone (916) 653-9946, email 
[email protected], by November 16, 2018. After that date, if 
no additional requestors have come forward, transfer of control of the 
human remains and associated funerary objects to The Tribes may 
proceed.
    The California Department of Parks and Recreation is responsible 
for notifying The Tribes that this notice has been published.
