Abstract of Information Available
A total of three lots of object of cultural patrimony have been
requested for repatriation. The three lots of objects of cultural
patrimony are three lots of modified stones. One lot of cultural item
was removed from CA-PLA-606/H (Twelve Bridges Project) in Lincoln, CA.
One lot of cultural item is from a personal donor and was removed in
Auburn Ravine, Gold Hill Area, CA. One lot of cultural item was
collected on the Rocklin Campus of Sierra College in 2016.
Determinations
The Sierra Joint Community College District has determined that:
<bullet> The three lots of objects of cultural patrimony described
in this notice have ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural
importance central to the Native American group, including any
constituent sub-group (such as a band, clan, lineage, ceremonial
society, or other subdivision), according to the Native American
traditional knowledge of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
<bullet> There is a reasonable connection between the cultural
items described in this notice and the United Auburn Indian Community
of the Auburn Rancheria of California.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural items
in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative identified
in this notice under ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation may be
submitted by any lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice who shows, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that the requestor is a lineal
descendant or a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
Repatriation of the cultural items in this notice to a requestor
may occur on or after May 16, 2024. If competing requests for
repatriation are received, Sierra Joint Community College District must
determine the most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation.
Requests for joint repatriation of the cultural items are considered a
single request and not competing requests. The Sierra Joint Community
College District is responsible for sending a copy of this notice to
the Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this
notice and to any other consulting parties.
Authority: Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act,
