Determinations Made by Diablo Valley
College
Officials of Diablo Valley College have
determined that:
•Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 16
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
•Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the four 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 Scotts Valley Band of Pomo
Indians of California.
