Abstract of Information Available
Two lots of cultural items have been requested for repatriation.
The two lots of objects of cultural patrimony are two lots of modified
stones. At an unknown date, one of modified stone was removed from
Placer County, CA. At another unknown date, one lot of modified stones
was removed from an unknown location that is believed to be somewhere
in west Placer County, CA. Folsom History had acquired the two lots of
modified stone in 2017. There is no noted presence of any potentially
hazardous substances that have been used to treat the cultural items.
Determinations
Folsom History has determined that:
<bullet> The two 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 August 19, 2024. If competing requests for
repatriation are received, Folsom History 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 Folsom History 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.
