An extension to the Place Authority to support the collection and management of Cultural Affiliation Lines of Evidence for NAGPRA-related purposes.

From the National Park Service:

The NAGPRA statue defines cultural affiliation as a relationship of shared group identity which can be reasonably trace historically or prehistorically between a present day Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization and an identifiable earlier group.

The types of evidence which may be offered to show cultural affiliation may include, but are not limited to, geographical, kinship, biological, archaeological, anthropological, linguistic, oral tradition, or historical evidence or other relevant information or expert opinion.
