items to prevent deterioration by mold,
insects, and moisture. To date, the SF
State NAGPRA Program has no records
documenting use of chemicals at our
facilities, and we currently do not use
chemicals on any cultural items. A
former SF State professor, Dr. Michael
Moratto, stated that staff used glues,
polyvinyl acetate, and a solution called
Glyptol to mend and stabilize cultural
objects in the past. Prior non-invasive
and non-destructive hazardous chemical
tests conducted at the SF State NAGPRA
Program repositories show arsenic,
mercury, and/or lead in some storage
containers, surfaces, and certain cultural
items.

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 Hualapai Indian
Tribe of the Hualapai Indian
Reservation, Arizona.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for
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

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 September 23, 2024. If
competing requests for repatriation are
received, the SF State NAGPRA Program
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 SF
