The proposed project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) with the City of Highland serving as lead agency. This study includes a cultural resources records search, Sacred Lands File search, pedestrian survey of the project site, evaluation of a historic orchard, and preparation of this technical report in compliance with the requirements of CEQA. The Kiel Orchard was identified as a historic resource but found not eligible for California Register of Historical Resources listing. Based on the results of the current study, BPG recommends a finding of no impact to historical resources under CEQA. The following measures are recommended in case of the unanticipated discovery of cultural resources during the project related ground disturbing activities. Unanticipated Discovery of Cultural Resources If previously unidentified cultural resources are encountered during ground-disturbing activities, work in the immediate area must halt and an archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for archaeology (National Park Service 1983) should be contacted immediately to evaluate the find. If the discovery proves to be significant under CEQA, additional work such as data recovery excavation may be warranted. Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains The discovery of human remains is always a possibility during ground disturbing activities. If human remains are found, California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until the county coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. In the event of an unanticipated discovery of human remains, the county coroner must be notified immediately. If the human remains are determined to be prehistoric, the coroner will notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which will determine and notify a most likely descendant (MLD). The MLD shall complete the inspection of the site within 48 hours of notification and may recommend scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials. 1 Tentative Tract Map Number 20142 Project 1 Introduction BPG was retained by Charles Kiel to conduct a Phase I cultural resources study for the Tentative Tract Map Number 20142 Project in the City of Highland, San Bernardino County, California (Figures 1 and 2). Tentative Tract 20142 is a 56-unit single family residential development proposed on a 21.59 gross acre site located north of Santa Ana Canyon Road and west of Alta Vista in the City of Highland, California (APN 1210-371-06, 10 and 11). Density would be 2.59 units per acre. The site is currently used for citriculture and has historically been used for agricultural purposes. Project access would be via Santa Ana Canyon Road and a new loop street through the development. Additional access would be provided via an extension of Cabo del Oeste, which is located near the northeast corner of the site. The extension of this street through the property would provide secondary/alternative access to Alta Vista and then south to Santa Ana Canyon Road. Gated fire access would be provided near the northwest corner of the site via an extension to Cabo del Oeste. The project would require a boundary adjustment to create three parcels. Parcel A would accommodate an existing residence and garage, Parcel B would accommodate a stormwater retention basin and Parcel C would accommodate the 56-unit development. Architectural variations in elevations and finished color would be consistent with neighboring single-family residential developments to the west and east of the site. The site is bordered by existing single-family residential to the west and east and rural residential to the south. An undeveloped slope and single-family residential is located to the north. This cultural resources study includes a cultural resources records search, Native American scoping, pedestrian survey, evaluation of built environment resources for California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) eligibility, and the preparation of this report for compliance with the cultural resources requirements of the California Environmental Quality

  • 4.5 Cultural Resources
    4.5 – Cultural Resources 4.5 Cultural Resources This section identifies cultural and paleontological resources along the IC Project Alignment, identifies applicable significance thresholds, assesses the IC Project’s impacts to these resources and their significance, and recommends measures to avoid or substantially reduce any effects found to be potentially significant. Cultural resources are defined as any object or specific location of past human activity, occupation, or use that is identifiable through historical documentation, inventory, or oral evidence. Cultural resources can be separated into three categories: archaeological, building/structural, and traditional resources. Archaeological resources include prehistoric and historic remains of human activity. Prehistoric resources can be composed of lithic scatters, ceramic scatters, quarries, habitation sites, temporary camps/rock rings, ceremonial sites, and trails. Historic-era resources are typically those that are 50 years or older. Historic archaeological resources can consist of structural remains (e.g., concrete foundations), historic objects (e.g., bottles and cans), features (e.g., refuse deposits or scatters), and sites (e.g., resources that contain one or more of the aforementioned categories). Built environment resources range from historic buildings to canals, historic roads and trails, bridges, ditches, cemeteries, and electrical infrastructure, such as transmission lines, substations, and generating facilities. A traditional cultural resource is a resource associated with the cultural practices, traditions, beliefs, lifeways, arts, crafts, or social institutions of a living community. They are rooted in a traditional community’s history and are important in maintaining the continuing cultural identity of the community. See Section 4.18, Tribal Cultural Resources, for a discussion on cultural resources of potential importance to California Native American tribes.

    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Proclamation 9396—Establishment of the Sand to Snow National Monument February 12, 2016 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The Sand to Snow area of southern California is an ecological and cultural treasure, a microcosm of the great geographic diversity of the region. Rising from the floor of the Sonoran Desert to the tallest peak in southern California, the area features a remarkable diversity of plant and animal species. The area includes a portion of the San Bernardino National Forest and connects this area with Joshua Tree National Park to the east, knitting together a mosaic of spectacular landscapes stretching over 200 miles. The mountain peaks of the Sand to Snow area frame the northeastern reach of Coachella Valley along with the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument to the south. Home to desert oases at Big Morongo Canyon and Whitewater Canyon, the area serves as a refuge for desert dwelling animals and a stopover for migrating birds. The archaeological riches of the Black Lava Buttes and the historical remains of mining and ranching communities tell of past prosperity and struggle in this arid land. The unbroken expanse is an invaluable treasure for our Nation and will continue to serve as an irreplaceable resource for archaeologists, geologists, and biologists for generations to come. The Sand to Snow area encompasses a rich diversity of geological and ecological resources, including a nearly 10,000-foot elevation gradient from the Sonoran Desert floor to the top of the 11,500-foot San Gorgonio Mountain, the highest mountain in southern California.

Over millennia, native people obtained knowledge both practical and esoteric, necessitated by survival in a land of extremes and accumulated by active minds recording how nature worked. Such knowledge became tradition when passed across generations, allowing cul- tural adjustments to the changing environment. The depth and breadth of their under- standing can only be glimpsed or imagined, but should never be minimized. Indians lived within deserts, were born, fed, and raised on them, su¤ered the extremes and uncertainties, and passed into the ancient, stony soils. Theirs was a discovery so intimate and spiritual, so singular, that we can only commemorate it with our own 10,000-year-long rediscov- ery of this place and all of its remarkable inhabitants. Our rediscovery has only begun. Our rediscovery is not based upon living in the deserts, despite a current human pop- ulation of over one million who dwelling east of the Sierra.

    Five Views: A History of American Indians in California Page 1 of 2 A History of American Indians in California : HISTORIC SITES Cupa San Diego County Cupa, also called Warner Springs Ranch or Agua Caliente Village, is located north of Interstate 8 and east of Lake Henshaw on State Highway 79 near Warner Springs, California . The historic 200-acre pre-1769 Cupeno Indian village site is now abandoned, but there remains 1769-1848 evidence of its historical importance. A number of recently abandoned 1849-1879 residences above the old village do not disturb the site itself. Settling 1880-1904 ponds and swimming pools constructed on Agua Caliente Creek at the 1905-1933 old resort are now in a state of disrepair . The beautiful valley of Agua 1934-1964 Caliente in which the village was situated lies at an altitude of 3,000 1965-1980 feet, and is home for many kinds of wildlife, native shrubs, grass, and evergreen oak trees . 1-listoric Sites The Cupeno Indians were already living at Cupa before the Spanish Selected References arrived in California in the 1700s . They continued to reside at Agua Caliente after the American occupation of California in 1847-48 . Once the Americans arrived, however, Antonio Garra, a Cupeno from Warners Ranch, attempted to organize a coalition of various Southern California Indian tribes to drive out all of the Whites . The attempt failed, Garra was executed, and Cupa, the village at Warner Springs, was burned. Although Cupa was on Indian land, Juan Jose Warner, a naturalized Mexican citizen, received the land in a grant from the Mexican Government on November 28, 1844 .

  • California Native Badge for Ambassadors
    Native to Greater LA Badge Ambassadors GIRL SCOUTS of GREATER LOS ANGELES www.girlscoutsla.org Native to Greater LA Badge (Native Americans)- Ambassadors “When we tug at a single thing in nature, we find it attached to the rest of the world.” ― John Muir Before the 405, the 101, the 5 or the 10, there were plants and animals. Before Hollywood, Los Angeles, Malibu, and Long Beach there were people that lived here for hundreds of years. There are unique plants and animals and people, native only to the region that we call home. Some have vanished in the mists of time, however if we listen to the stories told by the buzz of bees, the crashing of the sea and the voices in the wind, we might just be surprised to still find miracles native only to greater LA. Each level of Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors will learn about one of these elements; eventually tying all together the knowledge of Greater LA’s unique natural and cultural history. For Ambassadors- As a Cadette and a Senior, the Native to Greater LA focused on the unique plants and wildlife in the micro climate areas of Southern California. Now as an Ambassador Girl Scout, you will explore the cultural history of the people that have existed in these regions. We will focus on the Native American people that lived throughout the Los Angeles area, their cultures, and the places still found today that are culturally and historically significant. Keep in mind how native plant life and the animals in these regions would have affected the people and their culture as you learn about their way of life.
