Abstract of Information Available
A total of four cultural items have been requested for
repatriation. The four objects of cultural patrimony are baskets
removed from the vicinity of Temecula in Riverside County, CA, during
the first half of the Twentieth Century.
Basket 1996.245 was acquired by Evelyn and Franklyn Clerk at an
unknown date and transferred by gift to the Cantor Center for the
Visual Arts at Stanford University in 1996.
Basket 1996.246 was acquired by Evelyn and Franklyn Clerk at an
unknown date after 1930 and transferred by gift to the Cantor Center
for the Visual Arts at Stanford University in 1996. Note with the
basket lists ``Temecula'' as the source.
Basket 1939.268 was acquired by Frona Wait Colburn (also known as
Mrs. Fredrick Henry Colburn) between 1899 and 1939. Ms. Colburn
transferred a portion of her large collection of West Coast baskets to
the Stanford Museum (now the Cantor Center for the Visual Arts at
Stanford) in 1939.
Basket 1984.114 was acquired by Stanford faculty member Virgil
Whitaker at an unknown date, likely between 1930 and 1945. Professor
Whitaker donated the basket to the Stanford Museum in 1984.
Determinations
Stanford University has determined that:
<bullet> The four 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 Pechanga Band of Indians
(previously listed as Pechanga Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the
Pechanga Reservation, 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 July 31, 2024. If competing requests for
repatriation are received, Stanford University 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. Stanford University

is responsible for sending a copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes

other consulting parties.
