ADDRESSES: Wendy G. Teeter, Ph.D., Fowler Museum at UCLA, Box 951549, 
Los Angeles, CA 90095-1549, telephone (310) 825-1864, 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. 3005, of the intent to repatriate cultural items under the 
control of the Fowler Museum at UCLA that meet the definition of 
unassociated funerary objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
    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 cultural items. The National Park Service is not responsible 
for the determinations in this notice.

History and Description of the Cultural Items

    In 1978 and 1979, 132 cultural items were removed from Lindero 
Canyon (CA-VEN-606) in Ventura County, CA. Collections from the site 
derive from the survey and excavation undertaken during the North Ranch 
Inland Chumash research project, led by Dr. William Clewlow Jr., on 
land privately owned by the Prudential Insurance Company. A cemetery 
was discovered during the 1979 excavations. Thirteen burials were 
uncovered and left in-situ, but burial objects were removed for study. 
The unassociated funerary objects were removed from six of the burials 
and were transferred to UCLA in 1979. The site has been dated to the 
Late Period, A.D. 1300-1650. The 132 unassociated funerary objects are: 
12 pieces and four bags of shell fragments, two shell beads, 62 stone 
flakes, one cobble, three quartz crystals, 41 pieces and two bags of 
unmodified animal bone fragments, four ochre fragments, and one 
charcoal lump.

Determinations Made by the Fowler Museum at UCLA

    Officials of the Fowler Museum at UCLA have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B), the 132 cultural items 
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 and are believed, by a preponderance of the 
evidence, to have been removed from the specific burial sites of Native 
American individuals.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of 
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the 
unassociated funerary objects 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 claim 
these cultural items should submit a written request with information 
in support of the claim to Wendy G. Teeter, Ph.D., Fowler Museum at 
UCLA, Box 951549, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1549, telephone (310) 825-1864, 
email [email protected], by November 19, 2018. After that date, if 
no additional claimants have come forward, transfer of control of the 
unassociated funerary objects to the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Mission 
Indians of the Santa Ynez Reservation, California may proceed.
