The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. 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 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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.
