sites have been requested for

County, CA, includes one string of stone
disc beads. The 13 objects of cultural
patrimony removed from Easter Mound

small set of disc beads, one set of

clam shell disc bead blanks. The two
objects of cultural patrimony from
Jimeno Mound (CV–29) near Grand
Island, Sacramento County, CA, include
one string of clam shell disc beads, and
one lot of loose glass trade beads.
Between 1930 and 1936, the 176
objects of cultural patrimony were
removed by Henry Gibbs, a private
collector and looter. In 1937, Paul A.
Walker purchased Gibbs’ Central Valley,
California archeological collection.
Walker was an amateur archeologist and
collector who worked by himself and
with other amateur archeologists, and in
collaboration with the University of
California and Sacramento Junior
College. Over the course of his life,
Walker amassed an extensive
archeological collection from
California’s Central Valley and smaller
collections from Northern and Southern
California, and outside of California. In
1968, Walker’s private archeological
collection was acquired by the San
Diego Museum of Man (now Museum of
Us) through a purchase/donation
transaction with Walker’s widow, Bessie
B. Walker.
Determinations
The Museum of Us has determined
that:
• The 176 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 Wilton Rancheria,
California.
Requests for Repatriation

repatriation of the cultural items in this
notice must be sent to the authorized
representative identified in this notice
under 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 August 19, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
