Abstract of Information Available
A total of 12 cultural items have been
requested for repatriation. The 12
unassociated funerary objects are from
three separate acquisitions.
In December of 1954, Adele Ronecker
of San Diego, CA, donated one blade
from Stewart County, TN and one bird
effigy pipe from Southeastern United
States to the San Diego Museum of Man
(now Museum of Us), along with a
collection of 112 other Native American
cultural items from California, Texas,
New Mexico, Southeastern United
States, Mexico and Southeast Asia.
Acquisition records indicate that Ms.
Ronecker received the cultural items
from Lemley Osborne of Las Cruces,
New Mexico.
In May of 1955, the San Diego
Museum of Man (now Museum of Us)
purchased one shell gorget from
Hamilton County, TN, along with 11
other Native North American items,
E:\FR\FM\22OCN1.SGM

from Earl Townsend Jr., an attorney
from Indianapolis, IN. The donor
collected the gorget from a mound in the
Tennessee River at the mouth of the
Chickamauga Creek.
In July of 1957, George A. Leupold of
San Diego, CA, donated seven
lanceolate points and one adze from
Sparta, White County, TN, and one
discoidal from Tyron, Polk County, NC,
to the San Diego Museum of Man (now
Museum of Us). This acquisition
included an additional 57 Native
American cultural items (e.g., points,
axes, ceramic sherds, bone awls, and
discoidals) from Wisconsin, Illinois,
Missouri, Tennessee, and adjoining
areas. The Museum of Us has no
additional information on how and/or
when Mr. Leupold acquired the

of the death rite or ceremony and are
believed, by a preponderance of the
evidence, to have been removed from a
specific burial site of an individual or
individuals with cultural affiliation to
an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the cultural items described in
this notice and the Cherokee Nation;
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians; and
the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee
Indians in Oklahoma.

fragments, petrified wood, pottery, and
stone tools. The Deep Canyon collection
housed at the museum was collected by
a private corporation in the summer of
1972 in and around Deep Canyon in
Palm Desert, CA. While the original
field records do not mention human
remains, the museum’s records show
that one skull fragment is associated
with SBCM–5600 (Deep Canyon).
Records show Gorden Redtfeldt and
M.R. Harrington at the Southwest
Museum were corresponding regarding
a site report in 1955.
Human remains representing, at least,
one individual has been identified. The
two associated funerary objects are fish
and faunal bone. The Lake LeConte
collection (SBCM–5922) housed at the
museum was originally part of the
McCown collection, who was affiliated
with Archaeological Survey
Association. When ASA disbanded, this
collection was donated to the county
museum in the early 2000s.
Human remains representing, at least,
one individual has been identified. The
four associated funerary objects are
pottery, historic-era objects, bone awls,
and organic material. In the 1970s an
ancestor and objects were sent to
Riverside Sheriff’s department for a
small exhibit installed in the
department. In early 2024, sheriff/
coroner rediscovered these items in a
box labelled ‘‘SBCM’’ which included
the human remains and objects. In May
2024, coroner communicated this and
dropped off the box to the museum. The
ceramic potsherd found with ancestor is
Cahuilla.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is reasonably identified by the
geographical local or acquisition history
of the human remains and associated
funerary objects described in this notice.
Determinations
The San Bernardino County Museum
has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of three individuals of Native
American ancestry.
• The 13 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
Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians
of the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation,
California; Augustine Band of Cahuilla
