Description

    In 1963, one cultural item was removed from archeological site CA-
COL-25 in Colusa County, CA, by San Francisco State College 
archeologists. The site was documented by Dr. Adan E. Treganza of San 
Francisco State College as part of a broader survey project undertaken 
during 1963-1965, prior to construction of the Tehama-Colusa Canal. The 
cultural item was housed at San Francisco State College, which is now 
San Francisco State University, following completion of the survey 
project. The object of cultural patrimony is a limestone or basalt 
core.
    Also in 1963, as part of the same Tehama-Colusa Canal survey 
project, one cultural item was removed from archeological site CA-COL-
27 in Colusa County, CA. The object of cultural patrimony is one lot of 
obsidian items.

Cultural Affiliation

    The cultural items 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: anthropological, 
geographical, and tribal expert opinion.

Determinations

    Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after 
consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 
organizations, the San Francisco State University NAGPRA Program has 
determined that:
     The two cultural items described above have ongoing 
historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native 
American group or culture itself, rather than property owned by an 
individual.
     There is a relationship of shared group identity that can 
be reasonably traced between the cultural items and the Yocha Dehe 
Wintun Nation, California (previously listed as Rumsey Indian Rancheria 
of Wintun Indians of California).

Requests for Repatriation

    Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural items 
in this notice must be sent to the Responsible Official identified in 
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 March 3, 2023. If competing requests for 
repatriation are received, the San Francisco State University NAGPRA 
Program 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. The San 
Francisco State University NAGPRA Program is responsible for sending a 
copy of this notice to the Indian Tribe identified in this notice.
