tribes are believed to be affiliated with the items, then tribes that may be
affiliated with the items shall be consulted during the compilation of the
inventory.
(b) Any agency or museum that has possession or control over
collections of California Indian unassociated funerary objects, sacred
objects, or objects of cultural patrimony shall provide a written summary
of the objects based upon available information held by the agency or
museum. The summary shall describe the scope of the collection, kinds
of objects included, reference to geographical location, means and
period of acquisition, and state cultural affiliation, where readily
ascertainable. The summary shall be in lieu of an object-by-object
inventory. Each agency or museum, following preparation of a summary
pursuant to this subdivision, shall consult with California Indian tribes
and tribally authorized government officials and traditional religious
leaders.
(c) Each agency or museum shall complete the inventories and
summaries required by subdivisions (a) and (b) by January 1, 2003, or
within one year of the date on which the commission issues the list of
California Indian tribes provided for under paragraph (2) of subdivision
(i) of Section 8012, whichever is later. To the extent that this section
requires the inventory and summary to include items not required to be
included in the inventory and summary under the federal Native
American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (25 U.S.C. Sec. 3001
et seq.), the agency or museum shall supplement its inventory and
summary under this section to include those additional items.
( d) Upon request of a California Indian tribe, a museum or agency
shall supply additional available documentation to supplement the
information required by subdivisions (a) and (b ). For purposes of this
paragraph, "documentation" means a summary of existing museum or
agency records, including inventories or catalogs, relevant studies, or
other pertinent data for the limited purpose of determining the
geographical origin, cultural affiliation, and basic facts surrounding the
acquisition and accession of California Native American human remains
and cultural items subject to this section. This section shall not be
construed to authorize the completion or initiation of any scientific study
of human remains or cultural items.
(e) Within 90 days of completing the inventory and summary
specified in subdivisions (a) and (b ), the agency or museum shall provide
a copy of the inventory and summary to the commission. The
commission shall, in turn, publish notices of completion of summaries
and inventories on its Web site for 30 days, and make the inventory and
summary available to any requesting tribe or state affiliated tribe.
