Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations, the Museum of Us has determined that: • The four cultural items described above are 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 are believed, by a preponderance of the evidence, to have been removed from a specific burial site of a Native American individual. • There is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the cultural items and the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, Shingle Springs Rancheria (Verona Tract), California. Description Requests for Repatriation In 1932, the four cultural items were removed by Paul A. Walker from the Sacramento County home of Tom Cleanso, a Nisenan man, after his passing. Walker was an amateur archeologist and collector who worked both alone and with other amateur archeologists, and in collaboration with the University of California and Sacramento Junior College. Over the course of his life, Walker amassed an extensive archeological collection from California’s Central Valley, as well as smaller collections from Northern and Southern California, and from outside of California. In 1968, Walker’s archeological collection was acquired by the San Diego Museum of Man (now Museum of Us) through a purchase/ donation transaction with Walker’s widow, Bessie B. Walker. The four unassociated funerary objects are four Haliotis ornaments.
