History and Description of the Remains
Sometime prior to 1905, 44 cultural
items were removed from an unknown
location in Tulare County, CA. Stanford
University’s cofounder, Mrs. Jane
Stanford, donated the cultural items to
the Stanford Museum before her death
in 1905. The sacred objects are 44 stone
objects. Representatives from the Santa
Rosa Indian Community of the Santa
Rosa Rancheria, California, identified
the 44 stone objects as sacred objects
during a consultation visit to Stanford
University in August 2011.
The Santa Rosa Indian Community of
the Santa Rosa Rancheria, California,
has provided additional information
regarding these cultural items to
establish cultural affiliation to the Yokut
tribes. Based on the site location and in
accordance with the information
received in the consultation process, the
sacred objects are culturally affiliated
with the Yokut communities
represented by the present-day tribes of
the Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi
Indians of California; Santa Rosa Indian
Community of the Santa Rosa
Rancheria, California; Table Mountain
Rancheria of California; and the Tule
River Indian Tribe of the Tule River
Reservation, California.
Determinations Made by the Stanford
University Archaeology Center
Officials of the Stanford University
Archaeology Center have determined
that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3) (C),
the 44 cultural items described above
are specific ceremonial objects needed
by traditional Native American
Religious leaders for the practice of
traditional Native American religions by
their present-day adherents.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and the Picayune Rancheria of
Chukchansi Indians of California; Santa
Rosa Indian Community of the Santa
Rosa Rancheria, California; Table
Mountain Rancheria of California; and
the Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule
River Reservation, California.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any Indian tribe
that believes itself to be culturally
affiliated with the sacred objects should
contact Laura Jones, Director, Heritage
Services and University Archaeologist,
Archaeology Center, 488 Escondido
Mall, Stanford, CA 94305, telephone
(650) 723–9664 before October 31, 2012.
