SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Abstract of Information Available
A total of one object of cultural
patrimony has been requested for
repatriation. The single Pomo basket is
listed in museum records as a ‘‘gift
type’’ and was acquired by the Redding
Museum and Art Center (predecessor of
TBEP) in 1981 as part of a donation
from James ‘‘Jim’’ Dotta. Mr. Dotta was
a local instructor at Shasta Community
College in Redding, CA, an
archaeologist, and heavily involved in
the RMAC. He was also an avid
collector of books, historical objects,
artworks, and Indigenous Belongings. A
handwritten note in the accession
record states the basket was purchased
from Mildred’s Antiques for $25.00 in
1959, but no further provenance
information is provided and it’s not
clear in which city, state, or country
Mildred’s Antiques operated.
Conservation records from April 1992
indicate dermestid damage was
discovered on baskets stored near this
Pomo basket. Therefore, treatment was
conducted on this basket and others. In
addition to freezer treatment, the basket
was placed in an acid-free box with
paradichlorobenzene suspended from
the lid. Paradichlorobenzine is a
fumigant insecticide used in mothballs
and a deodorant in cleaners, sanitizers,
and deodorizers. There is no
documentation as to when the treatment
was complete, but no chemical
treatments have been used in Turtle Bay
Collections since 2000.
Determinations
Turtle Bay Exploration Park has
determined that:
• The one object 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
PO 00000

of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the cultural item described in
this notice and the Sherwood Valley
Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for
repatriation of the cultural item 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 item in
this notice to a requestor may occur on
or after December 12, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
Turtle Bay Exploration Park must
determine the most appropriate
requestor prior to repatriation. Requests
for joint repatriation of the cultural item
are considered a single request and not
competing requests. Turtle Bay
Exploration Park 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.
