Abstract of Information Available
A total of six cultural items have been requested for repatriation.
The six objects of cultural patrimony are one bone awl and five bundles
of fiber. The cultural items were removed from El Dorado County, CA in
the 1930s and given to the Lillard Collection at Sacramento City
College which were later transferred to American River College, both
campuses within the Los Rios Community College District.
Determinations
LRCCD has determined that:
<bullet> The six 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 Shingle Springs Band of Miwok
Indians, Shingle Springs Rancheria (Verona Tract), 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 September 22, 2025. If competing requests for
repatriation are received, LRCCD 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. LRCCD is responsible for sending a copy of this notice to the
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations identified in
[[Page 41121]]
this notice and to any other consulting parties.
