bear grass with a diamond pattern. It is
approximately four inches tall and eight
inches in diameter. The mush bowl was
used by family groups.
The cultural item has been identified
as Tolowa in archival documents and
the original gift documentation.
Consultations from the Tolowa Dee-ni’
Nation (previously listed as the Smith
River Rancheria, California) and the
Yurok Tribe of the Yurok Reservation,
California have both confirmed the
Tolowa affiliation of this cultural item.
In the 19th or 20th century, one
cultural item was removed from the
mouth of Smith River in Del Norte
County, CA. On November 1, 1949, Mr.
M. W. Dadey of Oakland, California,
donated the item to the Oakland Public
Museum. The circumstances under
which the cultural item came into the
possession of Mr. Dadey are unknown.
In 1965, the collection of the Oakland
Public Museum was merged with the
collections of two other institutions to
create the collection of the Oakland
Museum of California. The one
unassociated funerary object is a stone
maul. The stone maul (catalog number
H16.4389) is made from basalt or
another igneous rock, is six inches long,
and was made by pecking and grinding.
The Tolowa Dee-ni’ (previously listed
as the Smith River Rancheria,
California) are culturally affiliated with
the area from which the cultural item
was removed. This is supported by
archival records and reports, museum
records, Department of the Interior
sources, academic sources, and
correspondence with Tolowa Dee-ni’
representatives. Additional archival
sources and correspondence with the
Tolowa Dee-ni’ (previously listed as the
Smith River Rancheria, California)
describe this cultural item as being
consistent with the known burial
practices of the Tolowa.
Determinations Made by the Oakland
Museum of California
Officials of the Oakland Museum of
California have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(B),
the one cultural item identified as
catalog number H16.4389 and described
above is reasonably believed to have
been placed with or near individual
human remains at the time of death or
later as part of the death rite or
ceremony and is believed, by a
preponderance of the evidence, to have
been removed from a specific burial site
of a Native American individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D),
the one cultural item identified as
catalog number H74.285.6 and
described above has ongoing historical,
traditional, or cultural importance
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
central to the Native American group or
culture itself, rather than property
owned by an individual.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the two cultural items
described above and the Tolowa Dee-ni’
Nation (previously listed as the Smith
River Rancheria, California).
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to claim these cultural items
should submit a written request with
information in support of the claim to
Violetta Wolf, Oakland Museum of
California, 1000 Oak Street, Oakland,
CA 94607, telephone (510) 318–8489,
email vwolf@museumca.org, by January
4, 2019. After that date, if no additional
claimants have come forward, transfer
of control of the unassociated funerary
object and the object of cultural
patrimony to the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation
(previously listed as the Smith River
Rancheria, California) may proceed.
The Oakland Museum of California is
responsible for notifying the Tolowa
Dee-ni’ Nation (previously listed as the
Smith River Rancheria, California) that
this notice has been published.

History and Description of the Remains
In 1977, human remains representing,
at minimum, two individuals were
removed from CA–LAK–471 on the
southeastern shore of Clear Lake,
adjacent to Anderson Marsh in Lake
County, CA. The site was disturbed
during installation of a sewage
treatment system. The State Water
Resources Control Board, Division of
Water Quality contracted Ann Peak and
Associates to perform a test excavation
of the site. Human remains were
identified and reinterred at the time of
the excavation in cooperation with the
Elem Indian Colony. In 1981–1982, the
collection was transferred to the UC
Davis Department of Anthropology
Museum. In 2016, human remains were
newly identified within faunal
collections from the site. No known
individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
The human remains have been
determined to be Native American
based on the archeological context of
the site. Cultural material from the site
includes projectile points, bifaces,
flakes, fauna, and groundstone. One
radiocarbon date indicate occupation of
the site approximately 3,500 to 2,100
years ago. Projectile points indicates a
broad temporal range, from 10,000 years
ago to the late prehistoric period.

traditional sources provide evidence of
cultural affiliation between the human
remains and contemporary Pomo
people. Anthropological sources
designate Clear Lake as the aboriginal
territory of Pomo and Lake Miwok
groups. The Southern Clear Lake/Lower
Lake area is attributed to the
Southeastern Pomo (Kroeber 1925,
McCarthy 1985, McLendon and Lowy
1978, McLendon and Oswalt 1978;
Swanton 1952; White et al. 2002).
Linguistic evidence suggests that Clear
Lake is the proto-Pomo homeland (Golla
2007, Oswalt 1964, Whistler1984).
Information provided by the Koi Nation
indicates that this area is the center of
Koi ancestral lands and the tribe’s precontact political, cultural, and spiritual
center. Pomo are represented today by
the Big Valley Band of Pomo Indians of
