Description
Human remains representing, at
minimum, two individuals were
removed from Suffolk County, NY. They
were excavated at an unknown date by
F. (Frank) M. Smith, head of the Pacific
Coast Borax Company. Originally from
Wisconsin, his Borax mining operations
were based in Death Valley. He resided
in Oakland, but he had a summer
residence on Shelter Island in Suffolk
County, NY. The individuals and
associated funerary items were donated
and accessioned to the University in
1910. The one associated funerary object
is a lot of faunal bones.
Cultural Affiliation
The human remains and associated
funerary objects in this notice are
connected to one or more identifiable
earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or
cultures. There is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
identifiable earlier groups, tribes,
peoples, or cultures and one or more
Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship: archeological,
geographical, historical, kinship, oral
traditional, and expert opinion.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the University of
California, Berkeley has determined
that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of at least two individuals of
Native American ancestry.
• The one object described in this
notice 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.

objects in this notice must be sent to the
Responsible Official identified in

may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian
Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations

2. Any lineal descendant, Indian
Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization
not identified in this notice who shows,
by a preponderance of the evidence, that

a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or
Native Hawaiian organization.
Repatriation of the human remains
and associated funerary objects in this
notice to a requestor may occur on or
after December 23, 2022. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the University of California, Berkeley

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 Tribe identified in this notice.
