Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
In accordance with the Native
American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the San
Francisco State University (SF State)
NAGPRA Program intends to repatriate
certain cultural items that meet the
definition of objects of cultural
patrimony and that have a cultural
affiliation with the Indian Tribes or
Native Hawaiian organizations in this
notice.
DATES: Repatriation of the cultural items
in this notice may occur on or after
November 4, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Elise Green, San Francisco
State University NAGPRA Program,
1600 Holloway Avenue, San Francisco,
CA 94132, telephone (415) 338–1381,
email egreen@sfsu.edu.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice is published as part of the
National Park Service’s administrative
responsibilities under NAGPRA. The
determinations in this notice are the
sole responsibility of the SF State
NAGPRA Program and additional
information on the determinations in
this notice, including the results of
consultation, can be found in the
summary or related records. The
National Park Service is not responsible
for the determinations in this notice.
SUMMARY:
Abstract of Information Available
A total of four cultural items are
requested for repatriation. The four
objects of cultural patrimony include a
round basket, one round gift basket
(Korbel), one twine round basket
(Korbel), and one plain twine basket.
These baskets were donated to the
Treganza Anthropology Museum (TAM)
PO 00000
Frm 00066
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
at San Francisco State University in the
1960s and 1970s. When the TAM closed
in 2012, all the Native American items
were transferred to the SF State
NAGPRA Program. The basket cap is
from the Northwest California Basket
Collection. Two baskets were donated
by Elsa Korbel in 1968. There no records
of the donors of the other two baskets
at SF State.
It was once common practice by
museums to use chemicals on cultural
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.
Determinations
The SF State NAGPRA Program has
determined that:
• The four 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 Grindstone Indian
Rancheria of Wintun-Wailaki Indians of
California and the Paskenta Band of
Nomlaki Indians of California.
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
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 November 4, 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
State NAGPRA Program is responsible
for sending a copy of this notice to the
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice
and to any other consulting parties.

Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing at least 14
individuals have been reasonably
identified. The 30 associated funerary
objects are one olivella shell, 19 faunal
bone fragments, three charcoal pieces,
one clam shell fragment, three oyster
shell fragments, one mussel fragment,
one crab shell fragment, and one
unmodified stone. In 1982, human
remains were found ‘‘in collection’’,
wrapped in a Los Angeles Examiner
newspaper dated September 4th, 1933,
and a paper bag with ‘‘Carpinteria’’
written across it with no associated
object number. Mishopshnow (CA–SBa–
7) is a Chumash village and cemetery
site that dates to the Late Period (A.D.
1100 to contact) that is located in the
city of Carpinteria. It is unknown how
or when the human remains (17.C.71)
came to the Southwest Museum (now
part of the Autry Museum).
