Forward to [email protected] Mr. Murray, I have not had the time to see the records that were submitted except the original application for the historic listing. I have done an internet search for Burro Flats. I have found numerous archaeological papers which are therefore public records. This is a link to comments to the Department of Energy regarding their portion of the SSFL: https://www.etec.energy.gov/Environmental_and_Health/Documents/Cultural/Cultur al_Resources_Comment_Plan_Comment_Responses.pdf The people commenting on this document are all licensed archaeologists.

It is related to my side of the hill - the area of West Hills and Bell Canyon. Bell Canyon is due south of the SSFL site. It references Huwam which I told you was where part of West Hills is located today. And it also references Bell Canyon in its historic sense. This document appears to be the cultural resource study done by the lead agency for the SSFL cleanup - the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC): "Native American Histories and Perspectives"" https://www.dtsc- ssfl.com/files/lib_doe_area_iv/DraftEISRemAIV_NBuffZone/Volu me1%E2%80%93Chap1- 14/Chapter_09_Native_American_Histories_and_Perspectives.pd f I have attached a paper that did not have a link. It is a paper by archaeologist John Romani who was the first, to the best of my understanding, to study the Burro Flats site and to understand the significance of this site to the Winter Solstice. Mr. Romani is referenced in numerous other papers related to the Burro Flats site. This is a DOE report relative to its portion of cleanup responsibility at the SSFL lab and cultural resources: " FINAL REPORT CULTURAL RESOURCE COMPLIANCE AND MONITORING RESULTS FOR USEPA’S RADIOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE SANTA SUSANA FIELD LABORATORY AREA IV AND NORTHERN BUFFER ZONE": https://www.etec.energy.gov/Library/Cleanup_and_Characterizati on/Soil/Co- 2 Exhibit 9, Attachment F – Christine Rowe, June 25, 2020 Located/Final%20Report%20Cultural%20Resource%20Complianc e.pdf " Draft comments by Chester King concerning Draft Cultural Resources Study for Environmental Cleanup and Demolition at Santa Susana Field Laboratory, NASA Areas I and II, Ventura County, California ": https://foia.msfc.nasa.gov/sites/foia.msfc.nasa.gov/files/FOIA%20 Docs/40/61.pdf " Draft Ethnographic Overview of the Native American Communities in the Simi Hills and Vicinity ": https://ssfl.msfc.nasa.gov/files/documents/local/2017/SSFL_Ethn ographic_Overview_public.pdf "IMAGES OF ROCK ART SITES IN CALIFORNIA: BURRO FLATS (CHUMASH TERRITORY)":http://www.californiaprehistory.com/reports02/rep0037.html I am a former member of the West Hills Neighborhood Council.

I made numerous calls on this issue today to the Santa Ynez Band, to the local Most Likely Descendent (MLD) - a technical term. http://nahc.ca.gov/wp- content/uploads/2015/04/MLD_Policy.pdf I left messages for NASA and the DOE - I am a Section 106 Consulting Party for both of those agencies in regards to the Historic Properties and the Cultural Resources at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory. I also tried to contact archaeologists who are involved with this project. I wish there was a way to postpone this agenda item because I do not believe that the involved parties - local Native American tribes, archaeologists and other anthropologists, as well as the Section 106 parties were noticed. Does your Board not have any responsibility in this area other than just posting an agenda - I am talking about tribal outreach? If you research the Burro Flats site, you would find that it was initially registered on the National Historic Register by the Fernandeno Tribal Leader Rudy Ortega Senior. I met Mr. Ortega at the Los Angeles City Council one year when he and other Native Americans were recognized at a luncheon with former LA Mayor Villaraigosa. I was invited to that luncheon as a friend of the Native American Community. I believe that the Ventura County Cultural Heritage Commission should understand the overlapping complexity of this site which is bound by arbitrary County boundaries and does not recognize the Native American overlapping areas. I believe that you should be reaching out to Rudy Ortega Jr. the son of Rudy Ortega Sr. He is a former Chairman of the Los Angeles City / County Native American Commission: https://lanaic.lacounty.gov/mp_staff/rudy-ortega-jr/ 5 Exhibit 9, Attachment F – Christine Rowe, June 25, 2020 According to this document, he is the Tribal President of the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians. https://www.tataviam-nsn.us/tribal-government/executive-branch/ Rudy Ortega Jr. - Tribal President :[email protected] The tribes should have an opportunity to weigh in.

I have attached the Federal EPA's comments to NASA SSFL that they submitted for NASA's Draft Environmental Impact Statement. If you do a keyword search for the word cultural, you will find reference to the need for NASA to work with the local Native American groups to determine how to best approach this culturally sensitive site. It is considered Sacred Lands by the Chumash in its entirety.

    UC Berkeley Survey Reports, Survey of California and Other Indian Languages Title The Plank Canoe of Southern California: Not a Polynesian Import, but a Local Innovation Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1977t6ww Author Meroz, Yoram Publication Date 2013 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The Plank Canoe of Southern California: Not a Polynesian Import, but a Local Innovation YORAM MEROZ By nearly a millennium ago, Polynesians had settled most of the habitable islands of the eastern Pacific, as far east as Easter Island and as far north as Hawai‘i, after journeys of thousands of kilometers across open water. It is reasonable to ask whether Polynesian voyagers traveled thousands of kilometers more and reached the Americas. Despite much research and speculation over the past two centuries, evidence of contact between Polynesia and the Americas is scant. At present, it is generally accepted that Polynesians did reach South America, largely on the basis of the presence of the sweet potato, an American cultivar, in prehistoric East Polynesia. More such evidence would be significant and exciting; however, no other argument for such contact is currently free of uncertainty or controversy.1 In a separate debate, archaeologists and ethnologists have been disputing the rise of the unusually complex society of the Chumash of Southern California. Chumash social complexity was closely associated with the development of the plank-built canoe (Hudson et al. 1978), a unique technological and cultural complex, whose origins remain obscure (Gamble 2002). In a recent series of papers, Terry Jones and Kathryn Klar present what they claim is linguistic, archaeological, and ethnographical evidence for prehistoric contact from Polynesia to the Americas (Jones and Klar 2005, Klar and Jones 2005).

  • Linguistic Evidence for a Prehistoric Polynesia—Southern California Contact Event
    Linguistic Evidence for a Prehistoric Polynesia—Southern California Contact Event KATHRYN A. KLAR University of California, Berkeley TERRY L. JONES California Polytechnic State University Abstract. We describe linguistic evidence for at least one episode of pre- historic contact between Polynesia and Native California, proposing that a borrowed Proto—Central Eastern Polynesian lexical compound was realized as Chumashan tomol ‘plank canoe’ and its dialect variants. Similarly, we suggest that the Gabrielino borrowed two Polynesian forms to designate the ‘sewn- plank canoe’ and ‘boat’ (in general, though probably specifically a dugout). Where the Chumashan form speaks to the material from which plank canoes were made, the Gabrielino forms specifically referred to the techniques (adzing, piercing, sewing). We do not suggest that there is any genetic relationship between Polynesian languages and Chumashan or Gabrielino, only that the linguistic data strongly suggest at least one prehistoric contact event. Introduction. Arguments for prehistoric contact between Polynesia and what is now southern California have been in print since the late nineteenth century when Lang (1877) suggested that the shell fishhooks used by Native Hawaiians and the Chumash of Southern California were so stylistically similar that they had to reflect a shared cultural origin. Later California anthropologists in- cluding the archaeologist Ronald Olson (1930) and the distinguished Alfred Kroeber (1939) suggested that the sewn-plank canoes used by the Chumash and the Gabrielino off the southern California coast were so sophisticated and uni- que for Native America that they likely reflected influence from Polynesia, where plank sewing was common and widespread. However, they adduced no linguistic evidence in support of this hypothesis.

  • Tribal Marine Protected Areas: Protecting Maritime Ways And
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The White Paper entitled Tribal Marine Protected Areas: Protecting Maritime Ways and Practice published by the Wishtoyo Foundation (Ventura County, Santa Barbara) in 2004 describes the ecological and cultural significance of south-central California’s marine environment as a suitable area to establish new marine protected areas or MPAs. Tribal MPAs can be one tool for tribal people to co-manage and protect important submerged Chumash cultural sites and coastal marine ecosystems. The Chumash people lived in villages along the south-central California coast from the present day sites of Malibu to Morro Bay and extended to the northern Channel Islands. The Chumash reference for the northern Channel Islands are Tuqan (San Miguel), Wi’ma (Santa Rosa), Limuw (Santa Cruz) and Anyapax (Anacapa). Limuw means “in the sea is the meaning of the language spoken” while Chumash villages were named after the sea, such as Mikiw or “the place of mussels”. Evidence of Chumash village sites and tomol routes show an intimate relationship with the culture, sea and northern Channel Islands. The map below shows the villages and tomol routes within the greater Chumash bioregion. The varied maritime culture was diverse and depended on the rich array of animals and plants. Many animals, such as the swordfish, played a central role in Chumash maritime song, ceremony, ritual and dance. The Chumash people were heavily dependent on a healthy marine environment; the marine component of the Chumash diet consisted of over 150 types of marine fishes as well as a variety of shellfish including crabs, lobsters, mussels, abalone, clams, oysters, chitons, and other gastropods.

    Enhancing the Legacy of California's Marine Protected Areas through Bottom-Up Collaboration Clients: California MPA Collaborative Network & Resources Legacy Fund Gwyndolyn Sofka, Kimberly Guo, Julia Hassen, Celina Horbat, Kathryn Maloney, Dani Triebwasser Masters of Science Program School for Environment and Sustainability University of Michigan April 2021 Project Summary California enacted the Marine Life Protection Act in 1999 to create a network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) along the California coast. Through an eight-year process that engaged stakeholders, scientists, and policymakers, 124 MPAs were designated. During implementation, a network of county level collaboratives was formed to ensure that MPA management continued the bottom-up engagement of a diverse set of stakeholders. These collaboratives, and the Collaborative Network that supports them, have been an integral part of MPA management ever since 2012. The Collaborative Network is an ongoing experiment in collaborative governance and has been recognized as a key element in management of the MPAs. Our project analyzes the fourteen collaboratives, the Collaborative Network, and the relationships between the collaboratives, the Collaborative Network, and the State in an attempt to delineate the benefits and challenges of this arrangement, and identify best practices of collaborative governance. Interviews with members of the collaboratives and with stakeholders inform case studies of each collaborative. A cross-case analysis allowed us to identify key lessons that can

  • 1 History Department Acknowledgement of the Tongva
    History Department Acknowledgement of the Tongva and Greater Indigenous Lands occupied by the University of Southern California The History Department of USC acknowledges our presence on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Tongva people and their neighbors: (from North to South) the Chumash, Tataviam, Kitanemuk, Serrano, Cahuilla, Payomkawichum, Acjachemen, Ipai-Tipai, Kumeyaay, and Quechan peoples, whose ancestors ruled the region we now call Southern California for at least 9,000 years. Indigenous stewardship and rightful claims to these lands have never been voluntarily relinquished nor legally extinguished. We pay respects to the members and elders of these communities, past and present, who remain stewards, caretakers, and advocates of these lands, river systems, and the waters and islands of the Santa Barbara Channel. As a department of professional historians, we undertake an obligation to present truthful facts about USC’s specific occupation of Tongva lands. (We hope that other units of this university will also make an acknowledgement such as this, but we do not presume to speak for more than our own department in this document). Tongva lands and islands were traditionally ruled by autonomous village-states, knitted together by kinship, language, culture, and institutions. The University Park Campus and the Health Sciences Campuses of USC occupy unceded territory belonging to the villages of Yaangna (Downtown Los Angeles and East LA); Geveronga (Pico-Union); Sa’aangna (Baldwin Hills); Huutnga (Compton); and Ochuungna (South Pasadena). People of these village-states were deeply interconnected by kinship ties and trading relations. They spoke the same language and maintained a regional community that stretched from the San Gabriel Valley to the Southern Channel Islands, and from the Hollywood Hills to the San Pedro Bight (the LA Harbor).
