Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 227 / Monday, November 25, 2024 / Notices
Abstract of Information Available
A total of nine cultural items have
been requested for repatriation. The
nine unassociated funerary objects
include pendants, a gorget, a bird call,
a blade, a stone tool, a net weight, and
a plumb bob. At some point prior to
1936, Leslie L. Cooke collected these
items from Sacramento County,
California. In 1936, Cooke donated the
items to New Trier Township High
School in Winnetka, Illinois. The High
School likely donated the items to the
Museum in the late 1930s. The items
were accessioned by the Museum in
1986 or 1987 as part of a larger
collection. Based on the information
available and the results of consultation,
cultural affiliation is reasonably
identified by geographic location,
historical information, and Native
American traditional knowledge. There
is no known presence of any potentially
hazardous substances.

Determinations
The Field Museum has determined
that:
• The nine unassociated funerary
objects described in this notice are
reasonably believed to have been placed
intentionally with or near human
remains, and are connected, either at the
time of death or later as part of the death
rite or ceremony of a Native American
culture according to the Native
American traditional knowledge of a
lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or
Native Hawaiian organization. The
unassociated funerary objects have been
identified by a preponderance of the
evidence as related to human remains,
specific individuals, or families, or
removed from a specific burial site or
burial area 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 Wilton Rancheria,
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 December 26, 2024. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the Field Museum 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 Field Museum
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
A total of two lots of cultural items
have been requested for repatriation.
The two lots of unassociated funerary
objects are one lot of pottery from two
partial vessels and one lot of flaked
stone tools. The unassociated funerary
objects were removed from a limestone
lined grave reported to be sixty miles
north of Murray, Kentucky. This
description places the geographic
location in or near Crittenden,
Livingston, Lyon, or Marshall County,
Kentucky, or Hardin or Pope County,
Illinois. The collection was donated to
UAB at an unknown date. No cultural
affiliation information is included in
UAB’s internal records, but the
geographical origin of the objects and
relevant archaeological information
reasonably identify a cultural affiliation
with the Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band
of Cherokee Indians, Miami Tribe of
Oklahoma, Quapaw Nation, Shawnee
Tribe, and The Chickasaw Nation. There
is no record of any potentially
hazardous substances used to treat the
unassociated funerary objects.
Determinations
The University of Alabama at
Birmingham has determined that:
• The two lots of unassociated
funerary objects described in this notice
are reasonably believed to have been
placed intentionally with or near human
remains, and are connected, either at the
time of death or later as part of the death
rite or ceremony of a Native American
culture according to the Native
American traditional knowledge of a
lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or
Native Hawaiian organization. The
unassociated funerary objects have been
identified by a preponderance of the
evidence as related to human remains,
specific individuals, or families, or
removed from a specific burial site or
burial area 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 Chickasaw Nation.
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
