History and Description of the Remains Sometime between 1875 and 1889, human remains representing, at minimum, five individuals were removed from San Nicolas Island, Ventura County, CA. The human remains were removed by amateur archeologist Reverend Stephen Bowers, who sold them to the Logan Museum on an unknown date. Reverend Bowers made multiple collecting trips to San Nicolas between 1875 and 1889. He removed thousands of cultural items, which were later sold to museums and collectors. Between 1880 and 1881, Reverend Bowers owned two newspapers in Wisconsin, one in Clinton and the other in Beloit. These newspapers provide the context for his sale of cultural items to the Logan Museum. The human remains belong to two adults of unknown sex, one adult male, one child six years old, and one individual of unknown age and sex. No known individuals were identified. No associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains are Native American based on archeological, biological, and geographical evidence.
Archeological evidence suggests that before their removal in the early 19th century by the padres of the California mission system, people had occupied San Nicolas Island for a least 10,000
years.
Determinations Made by the Beloit College, Logan Museum of Anthropology Officials of the Logan Museum of Anthropology, Beloit College have determined that:
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 30019, the human remains described in this notice represent the physical remains of five individuals of Native American ancestry.
Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 30012, 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 Indians, California previously listed as La Jolla Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the La Jolla Reservation; Pala Band of Mission Indians previously listed as Pala Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the Pala Reservation, California; Pauma Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the Pauma & Yuima Reservation, California;
