Abstract of Information Available
A total of 311 cultural items have
been requested for repatriation.
In 1964–71, Stephen Humphreys, a
student at Sacramento State College,
conducted extensive surveys and
excavations in the region between
Oroville and Paradise in Butte County,
California. Humphries surfaced
collected from CA–BUT–60 (Vine
Rockshelter), BUT–61 (Bow Shaft
Rockshelter), BUT–303 (Gold Flat #1),
and BUT–304 (Gold Flat #2). The 15
objects of cultural patrimony from BUT–
60 are flaked stone tools and a steatite
vessel. The three sacred objects are
perishable botanical remains. The 69
objects of cultural patrimony from CA–
BUT–61 are flaked and modified stone
objects; the 53 sacred objects are
pigment, worked wood and bone
objects, glass and shell beads, crystals,
and animal remains. The 171 objects of
cultural patrimony from BUT–303/304
are modified stone, ground stone, flaked
stone, unmodified stone, and animal
remains. An unknown number of
objects may be missing from the
collection, and California State
University, Sacramento continues to
look for them.
Determinations
The California State University,
Sacramento has determined that:
• The 56 sacred objects described in
this notice are specific ceremonial
objects needed by a traditional Native
American religious leader for presentday adherents to practice traditional
Native American religion, according to
the Native American traditional
knowledge of a lineal descendant,
Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• The 255 objects of cultural
patrimony described in this notice have
ongoing historical, traditional, or
cultural importance central to the
Native American group, including any
constituent sub-group (such as a band,
clan, lineage, ceremonial society, or
other subdivision), according to the
Native American traditional knowledge
of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the cultural items described in
this notice and the Mechoopda Indian
Tribe of Chico Rancheria, California.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Abstract of Information Available
A total of 259 cultural items or lots of
items, represented by 188 catalog
numbers, have been requested for
repatriation. The 259 objects of cultural
patrimony are 76 baskets, three rattles,
nine awls, 12 yo-koli, two soap root
brushes, seven lithics, six netted bags,
one pictograph, one flute, one smoking
pipe, one turtle charm, one singing bow,
four gambling bones, four cooking
sticks/tools, three meat drying poles,
two fire drills, one root digger, one
cloak, one ear ornament, three hair pins,
two headnets, one headdress, one
necklace, four tremblers, 18 magnesite
beads, 31 acorn woodpecker scalps, and
63 lots or individual items of raw or
processed natural materials (i.e. acorns
and acorn meal; basket material;
tumpline and cord; seeds, nuts and
berries; eel meat, salmon eggs,
grasshoppers, bark, medicinal roots,
herbs, mushrooms, tobacco, deer sinew
and brain, clam shell, maize).
All of the items on this claim were
acquired by Charles P. Wilcomb during
various ‘collecting trips’ that he
undertook while he was the Curator of
the Oakland Public Museum (OPM). All
of the items requested for repatriation
were donated to the OPM by either
Charles P. Wilcomb, or by his daughter,
Miss Louise Wilcomb, after his death in
1915. The Oakland Public Museum and
its collections were merged into the
Oakland Museum of California in 1969.
Twenty-four of the items were
collected during Wilcomb’s September
29–November 28, 1911, collecting trip.
They were acquired by the Oakland
Public Museum on December 11, 1911.
Wilcomb collected these items from the
following sources: Dr. Indian Jim’s wife
and Captain John Chinaman’s wife in
Bald Rock, Butte County; and Kittie
George, Billy Williams, and an unnamed
old woman at Camp Creek and
Dogwood Rancheria, Butte County.
One hundred and fifty-four of the
items were collected during Wilcomb’s

collecting trip. They were acquired by
the Oakland Public Museum on January
7, 1914. Wilcomb collected these items
from the following sources: Hood
Smith’s wife (Cleo Martin Smith),
Johnny Johnson’s wife (Cordelia Martin
Johnson), and an unnamed old woman
in Brush Creek, Butte Co.; Fanny
Wagner, Old Woman Maggie, Rose
Edward, an unnamed old woman, and
an unnamed individual at Ed Wagner’s
Camp, Hunter’s Ravine, Plumas Co.;
John Kennedy at Middle Fork, Feather
River, Butte Co.; Dick Harris and his
wife (Emeline Harry) at Dick Harris
camp, Beau Creek, Butte Co (Dick
Harris- listed in OPM ledgers- is a
misspelling of Dick Harry, and Beau
Creek is a misspelling of Bean Creek);
Henry Flinn at Bald Rock, Butte Co; An
unnamed individual at Berry Creek,
Butte Co.; From the old council house
near Sulphur Springs, Berry Creek,
Butte Co.
Eighty-one of the items were donated
to the Oakland Public Museum on
December 7, 1915 by Wilcomb’s
daughter, Louise Wilcomb, after her
father’s death in 1915. All of the items
on this list were most likely collected
sometime between 1911 and 1915 when
Wilcomb was going on extensive
collecting trips to Maidu ancestral
territory. These items are noted as
coming from the following locations:
Brush Creek, Butte Co.; Bean Creek,
Butte Co.; Buckshot Johnson at
Dogwood Creek, Feather River Canyon,
Butte Co.; Berry Creek, Butte Co.
(including Bald Rock, Sulphur Springs,
Beau Creek); Pulga, Feather River
Canyon, Butte Co.; Hunter’s Ravine,
Butte Co; Stanfield Hill, Butte Co.; Billy
Day camp, Sulphur Springs, Butte Co.;
Big Meadows, Plumas Co.
Two of the items included in the 1915
acquisition do not have collection
location information. One of these items
is a rattle that is very similar to another
rattle being requested for repatriation
that came from Dick Harris’s camp.
OMCA institutional records note that
these two rattles were most likely
‘‘made by the same group of people, and
perhaps by the same person.’’ The other
item with no collection location
information is a lot of Yo-Koli, however,
as this item was originally cataloged in
1915 using the Konkow name (yo-koli)
it is assumed to have come from Butte
County.
Information provided by the Tribe
indicates that Berry Creek Rancheria of
Maidu Indians of California is culturally
affiliated with the items and places
associated with this claim. In 2007,
random testing of OMCA’s basket
collection was conducted using pXRF
technology. Three baskets included in
