Description
The 76 cultural items were removed
from San Nicolas Island in Ventura
County, CA. In 1875, Paul Schumacher
led a joint expedition on behalf of the
Smithsonian Institution and the PMAE
that included a visit to San Nicolas
Island, where he excavated numerous
burials. The human remains from these
burials were sent to the Smithsonian
Institution, but some funerary objects
were sent to the PMAE. Museum
documentation also indicates that
Schumacher sold items he collected in
the Channel Islands to private
collectors.
In 1877, the PMAE acquired items
from the Smithsonian Institution that
were duplicate objects in their
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
collection from Paul Schumacher’s 1875
San Nicolas Island expedition. The
cultural items collected on San Nicolas
Island during that expedition were from
funerary contexts.
In 1896, Dr. George J. Engelmann
donated two cultural items to the PMAE
that were acquired from Paul
Schumacher’s 1875 San Nicolas Island
expedition. The items are known to
have been collected by Schumacher
because he wrote his name, the island
of origin, and a catalog number on each
item. Based on the original catalog
numbers, it appears the objects were
collected during the 1875 joint
Smithsonian Institution-PMAE
expedition. The date Engelmann
acquired the cultural items from
Schumacher is unknown.
In 1910, PMAE received objects as
part of an exchange with the American
Antiquarian Society, including one
cultural item collected by Schumacher.
Schumacher labeled the mortar with his
name, the island of origin, and a catalog
number. Based on the original catalog
number, it appears the object was
collected during the 1875 joint
Smithsonian Institution-PMAE
expedition. It is unknown when the
American Antiquarian Society acquired
the mortar.
The 76 unassociated funerary objects
include 70 objects present in the
Peabody Museum collections and six
that are currently missing. The 70
present unassociated funerary objects
are 36 stone mortars, 28 stone pestles,
five worked stones, and one spindle
whorl. The six missing unassociated
funerary objects are three stone mortars
and three stone pestles.
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
evidence were used to reasonably trace
the relationship: oral traditional,
geographical, biological, and
archeological.
The combined oral traditional,
geographical, biological, and
archeological evidence indicates that a
relationship of shared group identity
can be reasonably traced between these
unassociated funerary objects from San
Nicolas Island, Ventura County, CA, and
the Indian Tribes identified in this
notice.

Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the PMAE has
determined that:
• The 76 unassociated funerary
objects 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 specific burial sites
of Native American individuals.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the cultural items
described in this notice and the La Jolla
Band of Luiseno Indians, California;
Pala Band of Mission Indians; Pauma
Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the
Pauma & Yuima Reservation, California;
Pechanga Band of Indians (Previously
listed as Pechanga Band of Luiseno
Mission Indians of the Pechanga
Reservation, California); Rincon Band of
Luiseno Indians (Previously listed as
Rincon Band of Luiseno Mission
Indians of Rincon Reservation,
California); Santa Ynez Band of
Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa
Ynez Reservation, California; and the
Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians,
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 November 13, 2023. If
competing requests for repatriation are
received, the PMAE 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 PMAE is
responsible for sending a copy of this
notice to the Indian Tribes identified in
this notice.
