Box 8397 La Verne, CA 91750 Prepared for: Crable & Associates 765 W.

Material Culture Consulting, Inc. (MCC) was retained by Crable & Associates to conduct a Phase I cultural and paleontological resource investigation of the Project Area. These assessments were conducted in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), along with local regulations and guidelines. This assessment included a cultural resources records search using the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), a fossil locality search at the National History Museum of Los Angeles County (LACM), an examination of geological maps and paleontological literature, a search of the Sacred Lands File (SLF) by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), outreach efforts with 20 Native American tribal representatives, and a pedestrian survey. The CHRIS records search identified three previously conducted cultural resources within a 0.25-mile radius buffer around the Project Area, two of which intersect the Project Area itself. The CHRIS records search did not identify any previously recorded cultural resources within the Project Area or within a 0.25-mile radius around the Project. The Project Area is comprised of younger Quaternary Alluvium. While these deposits typically do not contain significant vertebrate fossils within the uppermost layers, they may be underlain in this area by older Quaternary deposits, which are considered moderate sensitivity for containing fossils. The LACM identified no previously recorded fossil localities within one mile of the Project Area. The SLF search did not identify any previously known cultural resources within the Project Area. MCC sent letters on August 1, 2018 to 20 Native American contacts identified by the NAHC, requesting any information related to cultural resources or heritage sites within or adjacent to the Project Area. MCC received nine responses from this outreach. Andrew Salas, Chairperson for the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation, provided substantial evidence and family oral history, indicating that the Project is located in the Tribe’s ancestral territory. While the information from Mr. Salas did not point to tribal cultural resources specifically within the Project Area, the area is noted as being potentially sensitive for containing tribal and prehistoric cultural resources. On July 27, 2018, Sonia Sifuentes, M.Sc., RPA, MCC Archaeologist and Cross-Trained Paleontologist, conducted the pedestrian survey of the Project Area. No cultural or paleontological resources were identified during the survey, and the Project Area is noted to be highly disturbed from nearly 80 years of use involving significant ground disturbance (orchards and disking for vegetation management). Based on the above findings, the probability of encountering cultural or paleontological resources within the Project Area is considered low. MCC recommends no further mitigation measures are needed for the duration of the Project. While we do not recommend additional mitigation, we do recommend setting a plan in place to expediently address inadvertent cultural and paleontological discoveries and human remains, should these be encountered during construction activities. We also recommend retaining a Native American and Archaeological monitor to respond to inadvertent finds, prior to construction. Finally, if excavations extend greater than ten feet below surface, MCC recommends periodic paleontological spot checks to determine if older, paleontologically sensitive sediments are present. Please note – if the lead agency for this project requires presence of Tribal Cultural Monitors, archaeological monitoring is also required in tandem, to quickly and expeditiously salvage materials in a scientific manner, and assess such finds for archaeological significance. A copy of this report will be permanently filed with the CHRIS South Central Coastal Information Center at California State University, Fullerton. All notes, photographs, correspondence and other materials related to this Project are located at the MCC office located in Pomona, California. Material Culture Consulting, Inc. | 2701 B N.

Thank you firstly to my three committee-members: Cliff Trafzer, Rebecca ‘Monte’ Kugel, and Robert Perez. I must especially acknowledge Cliff Trafzer for providing me all of the guidance I needed every step of the way. On behalf of my family and Caxcan people from El Remolino, thank you for believing in this research project, in the power of our sacred places, and the value of our rich knowledge. I wish to express my gratitude to the California Center for the Native Nations, Rupert Costo for Native American Affairs and the gracious support from the Graduate Assistant in Areas of National Need (GAANN) Fellowship. This report also would not have been possible without the Native American Land Conservancy, 29 Palms Band of Mission Indians and the Mike Family. To Matt Leivas, who kindly offered me his knowledge through the rich oral histories he possesses while also taking the time to introduce me to the people of Chemehuevi Indian Reservation including his sister June Leivas, I extend many thanks to them all for we share the common bond of a mutual deep respect for our sacred sites.

Much of this work has been done in secret and kept from the people that it will impact the most – the CRIT membership and the surrounding communities of Parker and La Paz County. I am asking that the following be considered before allowing the potential legislation and agreements to move forward: Cultural Significance For the Mohave people, according to their creation story, or their version of Exodus as found in the Christian bible, the Colorado River was created for the Mohave people to use, protect, and sustain Mohave ways of living. They were taught to use the waters from the Colorado River and the silt it left behind to farm and feed their people. The river is a big part of who the Mohave people are, and any variance imposed on what we have left today could change what little ways we have left. Since immemorial, it has been the Mohave’s duty to protect the land and water. Across Indian Country, in North America, including Canada and Mexico, indigenous people are standing to protect their lands and water resources against government and big corporations.
