SREG proposes the construction, use and maintenance of an approximately 142,519-square foot mixed-use development including the adaptive reuse of an extant six story commercial building, and the construction of a five-story mixed use building with two subterranean parking lots (project). The proposed project is located on a 1.89-acre lot comprising the following assessor’s parcel numbers [APN]: 2423-009-034, 2423-009-041, 2423-009-042, 2423-009-045, 2423-009-050, and 2423-009-051) (project area). As Lead Agency, the City identified the need for additional work to address tribal cultural resources for purposes of project compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically tribal cultural resources as defined under Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52). The following report documents the methods and results of a Sacred Lands File (SLF) search through the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), a records search of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), and background research used to determine the presence of tribal cultural resources or their likelihood of being encountered within the project area. The study was conducted in compliance with CEQA, Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 5024.1, Section 15064.5 of the Guidelines, and Sections 21083.2 and 21084.1 of the Statutes of CEQA (Governor’s Office of Planning and Research 1998). PRC Section 5024.1 requires the identification and evaluation of historical resources to determine their eligibility for the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR). The CRHR is a listing of the state’s historical resources, and indicates which properties are to be protected from substantial adverse change, as defined in CEQA, to the extent that is prudent and feasible. Dates of Investigation: On June 5 2017, Ms. Nicolay conducted a search of the CHRIS records at the SCCIC. The search included any previously recorded cultural resources and investigations within the project area and surrounding 0.5-mile (0.8-km) area. Concurrent with the CHRIS records search in June 2017, SWCA also reviewed property-specific historical and ethnographic context research to identify information relevant to the project area. As part of the process of identifying cultural resources in or near the study area, SWCA Project Manager Chris Millington contacted the NAHC to request a review of their Sacred Land File on June 8, 2017. A response from the NAHC was received on June 12, 2017. Findings: No previously recorded tribal cultural resources were identified in a CHRIS records search within the project area or a 0.5-mile radius. The NAHC’s SLF search did not identify any site specific information with respect to tribal lands or sites for the project area. The Gabrieleno/Tongva village of Kaweenga was reported to have been located within 1 mile south of the project area. In general, the proximity of the project area to permanent water sources (the Los Angeles River), the past use of a trails (e.g. El Camino Real), and activities within historic rancho territories by Native Americans, increase the probability of archaeological remains occurring. Agricultural and ranching activity in the early twentieth century would have disturbed any superficial or near-surface deposits. The continued development of the project site throughout the remainder of the twentieth century including the construction and demolition of various buildings on the lot would have further compromised any archaeological deposits that may once have been present. Soil reports show that deeply buried natural soils remain below the asphalt that are conducive to the preservation of archaeological material associated with Native American use of the area. Based on the known use of the area and depositional setting, the presence of deeply buried archaeological material cannot be ruled out. Overall, SWCA finds the project area has a low to moderate sensitivity for containing undocumented tribal cultural resources in the form of buried prehistoric or historic Native American archaeological remains. SWCA Environmental Consultants i Tribal Cultural Resource Assessment for 10850 Riverside Drive, Toluca Lake, City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California Recommendations: No mitigations measures are recommended for impacts to known tribal cultural resources. However, because areas within the project area have at least some potential for containing deeply buried tribal cultural resources, SWCA recommends mitigation measures for avoiding impacts to undocumented tribal cultural resources. Mitigation measures include: retaining a qualified archaeologist to carry out mitigation measures; preparing a monitoring and mitigation plan; implementing a cultural resource worker training program; and the monitoring of all construction activities. If inadvertent tribal cultural resources are encountered during construction work in the area should stop until an archaeologist is able to make a determination of significance. If human remains area encountered during construction activities, work at the site should stop until the Los Angeles County Coroner is able to make a determination of origin and deposition pursuant to the State of California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 and PRC Section 5097.98. Disposition of Data: The final report and any subsequent related reports will be submitted to SRG LLC, the Los Angeles Department of City Planning, and the SCCIC at California State University, Fullerton. Research materials and the report are also on file at the SWCA Pasadena Office.

For several years the U. S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, the NASA-Ames Research Center in Mountain View, and the Department of Anthropology at Stanford university have collaborated on a feasibility study of amino acid dating on bone, utilizing archaeological and palaeontological samples.

    Fernandefio Tataviam Band of Mission Indians Federal Petition Office of Federal Acknowledgment Bureau of Indian Affairs U.S. Department of Interior Supplem·entary and Updated Information to the Petition of 2009 CRITERIA 87.3(b) Fernandefio Tataviam Band of Mission Indians 12015 Supplement Federal Recognition §83.7(b) Supplementary and Updated Information to the Fernandeiio Tataviam Band of Mission Indian Petition of 2009 Section 83 .7 (b ). The predominant portion of the petitioning group comprises a distinct community and has existed from historical times to the present. As presented in the supplement and the original petition, the social organization of California in general, and southern California in particular, is composed of a regional network of lineage communities that trade, share ceremonies, and intermarry. This regional pattern existed in the pre-contact period, as far as scholars can reconstruct, and many principal aspects of the regional network and lineage communities continue to define the social and political patterns of the present-day Fernandefios; but all southern California tribes share similar social and political patterns. We refer the reader to the first section [83.7. (a)] of this supplementary report on the recognition of pre-contact social organization, as mainly described by the eminent anthropologist, Alfred Kroeber. That section also links the San Fernando baptismal records to specific historical lineage communities, or as Kroeber says, tribelets, (see pages 1-5). The Mission padres recorded the names of the tribelets, and recognized their presence as an obstacle to achieving a Christian community and managing the economy of the estate under the mission plan.

INTRODUCTION Incorporated in 1991, the city of Calabasas is 12.9 square miles in size and is twenty-two miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Situated in the southwestern region of the immense San Fernando Valley, Calabasas is tucked between the foothills of the Santa Monica and Santa Susanna Mountains. Until the late 20th century, the history of Calabasas was intertwined with the history of the surrounding area and revolved around natural and cultural forces including the Native American inhabitants, Spanish and Mexican colonization, and the transformation of California into an American state.

  • History and Culture Introduction
    State of the Tujunga Report - October 2006 History and Culture Introduction The interaction between people and their watersheds and the change in this interaction over time are important parts of the puzzle of watershed condition. Over centuries, people and cultures come and go and with them their practices and perceptions of the physical and biological place around them. Cultures and societies evolve over time, sometimes responding to natural events and constraints, sometimes causing them. Watershed assessments include descriptions of who lived in the watershed over time and how they related to the place. This description can be used to understand changes in the watershed over time and the emergent conditions that result from the relationship. Little remains in the lower watershed that would be familiar to the inhabitants of 200, or even 75 years ago. Certain landmarks such as San Fernando Mission, Andres Pico and Lopez Adobes, and Bolton Hall still persist. The Great Wall of Los Angeles mural provides a visual timeline of the region’s cultural evolution, and reminders of history are still apparent throughout daily life. For example, the names Tujunga and Pacoima originate from the Tataviam language and mean “old woman place” and “the entrance,” respectively (King, 2004). The City of San Fernando takes its name from the mission established there in 1797, and Van Nuys is named for the powerful wheat merchant who once owned the land. Many of the street names, such as Chandler, Sherman Way and Lankershim Boulevards are named after people who played pivotal roles in shaping the watershed’s future. Historical events, environmental forces, cultural sensibilities and socioeconomic changes have all shaped the current state of the watershed today.
