Society and there is some information
showing that one third was retained by
the University of California, Berkeley
(UCB). The remaining third purportedly
was retained by the Heye Museum of
the American Indian, but according to
Loud and Harrington (1924), ‘‘[t]he
collection was divided between the
University of California and the Nevada
Historical Society.’’ Consequently, we
believe that the collection was split in
half between UCB and NHS. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Aboriginal Land
The human remains in this notice
were removed from known geographic
locations. These locations are the
aboriginal lands of one or more Indian
Tribes. The following information was
