SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is published as part of the
National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA.
The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the
University of California, Berkeley, and additional information on the
determinations in this notice, including the results of consultation,
can be found in its inventory or related records. The National Park
Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice.
Abstract of Information Available
In October 1948, Albert Mohr and David Allen Fredrickson removed 17
lots of associated funerary objects from CA-GLE-1, CA-GLE-2, CA-GLE-5,
CA-GLE-6, CA-GLE-7, CA-GLE-9, CA-GLE-10, and CA-GLE-11 in Glenn County,
CA. The University of California Museum of Anthropology (today the
Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology) appropriated the 17 lots of
associated funerary objects from the University of California
Archaeological Survey in October 1948. The associated funerary objects
are worked stone and stone fragments.
Collections and collection spaces at the Phoebe A Hearst Museum of
Anthropology were treated with substances for preservation and pest
control, some potentially hazardous. No records have been found to date
at the Museum to indicate whether or not chemicals or natural
substances were used prior to 1960.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation is reasonably identified by the geographical
location or acquisition history of the associated funerary objects
described in this notice.
Determinations
The University of California, Berkeley has determined that:
<bullet> The 17 objects described in this notice are reasonably
believed to have been placed intentionally with or near individual
human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite
or ceremony.
<bullet> There is a connection between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in this notice and the Grindstone
Indian Rancheria of Wintun-Wailaki Indians of California and the
Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians of California.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the authorized representative
identified in this notice under ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation
may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.
2. 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 an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian organization with
cultural affiliation.
Repatriation of the associated funerary objects described in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or after September 12, 2024. If
competing requests for repatriation are received, the University of
California, Berkeley must determine the most appropriate requestor
prior to repatriation. Requests for joint repatriation of the
associated funerary objects are considered a single request and not
competing requests. The University of California, Berkeley is
responsible for sending a copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes and
Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this notice.
Authority: Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act,
25 U.S.C. 3003, and the implementing regulations, 43 CFR 10.10.
