Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing, at least,
one individual have been identified.
The eight associated funerary objects are
stone, bone and antler tools and red
ochre.
Between July 5 and August 6, 1982,
the WWU Anthropology Department
conducted an archaeological survey of
the Lummi River flood plain and
adjacent areas within the Lummi Indian
Reservation, Whatcom County, WA. The
survey was conducted at the request of
the Bureau of Indian Affairs and was
restricted to tribal trust and allotment
lands. The project was designed to
provide a basic cultural resource
inventory that would supplement
previous archaeological investigations
of other portions of the Lummi
Reservation. During this survey, six
previously unrecorded sites were
located, and test excavations were
conducted at one of these sites
(Patterson 1983, An Archaeological
Investigation of the Lummi River and
Adjacent Portions of the Lummi
Reservation, Whatcom County,
Washington. Reports in Archaeology
No.19, Department of Anthropology,
Western Washington University,
Bellingham, Washington).
During the WWU 2018–2020
Repatriation and Rehousing Project,
ancestral remains and associated
funerary objects were newly identified
from three sites (45–WH–171, 45–WH–
172, and 45–WH–176), and they are
listed below. No known individuals
were identified. No hazardous
chemicals are known to have been used
to treat the human remains while in the
custody of WWU.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is clearly identified by the
information available about the human
remains and associated funerary objects
described in this notice.
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• The eight objects described in this
notice are reasonably believed to have
been placed intentionally with or near
individual human remains at the time of
death or later as part of the death rite
or ceremony.
• There is a connection between the
human remains and associated funerary
objects described in this notice and the
Lummi Tribe of the Lummi Reservation
and the Nooksack Indian Tribe.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains and associated funerary
objects in this notice must be sent to the
authorized representative identified in
this notice under ADDRESSES. Requests
for repatriation may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian
Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice.
2. 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
an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization with cultural affiliation.
Repatriation of the human remains
and associated funerary objects
described in this notice to a requestor
may occur on or after November 4, 2024.
If competing requests for repatriation
are received, the WWU must determine
the most appropriate requestor prior to
repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the human remains and
associated funerary objects are
considered a single request and not
competing requests. The WWU is

SUMMARY:
Abstract of Information Available
Ancestor remains representing one
individual was found at the Department
of Anthropology at the University of
Georgia. It is unclear when this
individual came to be housed at the
Department of Anthropology but likely
was brought to the university after 1948
when the Anthropology program was
founded. This individual may be
associated with work by former faculty
Harold Huscher who worked in the
Southwest but no clear documentation
exists. There is no record of any
potentially hazardous substances used
to treat the ancestor, although there does
appear to be some glue on some of the
elements.
Cultural Affiliation

and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is clearly identified by the

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

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

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,
