During the period from 1864 through

were removed from multiple identified
sites in western Placer County, CA—CAPla-14, CA-Pla-17, CA-Pla-39, CA-Pla-4,
and CA-Pla-414—and nine unknown
locations in that county. Through 12
separate accessions, these objects were
donated to the Lowie Museum (Phoebe
A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology) at
the University of California, Berkeley,
by Darius Ogden Mills, Ellinor C.
Davidson, Elmer J. Dawson, Franklin
Fenenga, Robert Fleming Heizer, John
Campbell Merriam, L. M. Layton, Loring
J. Barker, Mrs. J. C. Hawver, the National

patrimony are one lot consisting of
beads, one lot consisting of cartridges,
one lot consisting of ceramics and glass,
one lot consisting of clothing and textile
components, one lot consisting of faunal
remains, one lot consisting of floral
remains, one lot consisting of metal, one
lot consisting of nails, one lot consisting
of ornaments, one lot consisting of
plastic fragments, one lot consisting of
shells, one lot consisting of worked
faunal bones, and one lot consisting of
worked and unworked stone.
During the period from sometime
before 1881 through 1949, four objects
of cultural patrimony were removed
from multiple identified sites in Sutter
County, CA—CA-Sut-10, CA-Sut-16,
CA-Sut-5—and six unknown locations
in that county. Through seven separate
accessions, these objects were donated
to the Lowie Museum by A. J. Blakeley,

County Board of Education, as well as
through the California Archaeological
Survey, other University Collections,

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: geographical,
linguistic, and expert opinion (in the
form of Tribal traditional knowledge).
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 21 lots of 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 United Auburn Indian Community
of the Auburn Rancheria 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.
