Description
Between 1881 and 1917, 29 sacred
objects were removed from the
Hawaiian Islands by, variously, the
Alaska Commercial Company, Arthur
Rodgers, Franc¸ois L. A. Pioche, H.W.
O’Melveny, Jackson R. Myers, Phoebe
Apperson Hearst, and other unknown
collectors, and were donated to the
Lowie Museum (Phoebe A. Hearst
Museum of Anthropology). The sacred
objects are one ‘opu‘u (pendant), one
‘umeke (bowl), 10 hoana (grindstone),
one ‘ihe (spear), one ipu ‘aina (scrap
bowl), one ipu kuha (spittoon), two
ku¯pe‘e (anklet/bracelet), one makau
(fishhook) or niho palaoa (whale tooth
pendent), four niho palaoa (whale tooth
pendent), two lei niho palaoa (whale
tooth pendent human hair necklace) and
five lei lauoho (human hair necklace).
The human hair in the two lei niho
palaoa and five lei lauoho are
reasonably believed to have been freely
given or naturally shed by the
individuals from whom it was obtained.
Five sacred objects were removed
from the Hawaiian Islands by Mr. and
Mrs. Gardner Dailey and were donated
in 1970 to the Lowie Museum (Phoebe
A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology).
The sacred objects are five lei hulu
(feather necklace).
Also, 301 additional items which are
not ‘cultural items’ under NAGPRA are
being returned pursuant to the
University of California Native
American Cultural Affiliation and
Repatriation Policy, Section V.G.,
Voluntary Deaccessioning of Items
which are not NAGPRA/CalNAGPRAeligible.
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
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: Tribal traditional
knowledge, geographical, and historical.
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 34 cultural items described
above are specific ceremonial objects
needed by traditional Native American
religious leaders for the practice of
traditional Native American religions by
their present-day adherents.
• There is a relationship of shared
group identity that can be reasonably
traced between the cultural items and
the Council for Native Hawaiian
Advancement, and Hui Iwi Kuamo‘o.
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 January 4, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the University of California, Berkeley
must determine the most appropriate
requestor prior to repatriation. Requests
