ADDRESSES:
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 Autry Museum
of the American West, 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Abstract of Information Available
A total of four lots of cultural items
have been requested for repatriation.
The one lot of unassociated funerary
objects are faunal bone beads. In 1931,
Sacramento Junior College
archaeological field party including
student Henry Gibbs, collected cultural
items from Lincoln Mound (CA–Pla–
14), Placer County, CA. Dr. L.B. Lillard,
President of Sacramento Junior College,
donated the cultural items in 1935 to
the Southwest Museum (now part of
Autry Museum of the American West).
The three lots of unassociated
funerary objects are two lots of shell
ornaments and one lot of cooking
stones. The ornaments were found in
collections in 2001, with a label of
‘‘Verona Mound, Maidu area, Adult
burial’’. Verona Mound is an
archaeological site CA-Sut-11, in Sutter
County, CA. It is unknown when the
cultural items entered the Southwest
Museum. However, based on
institutional history, the cultural items
could potentially be part of the cultural
items recovered from Sacramento Junior
College archaeological field party.
Sacramento Junior College President
Lillard gifted cultural items from
various sites in 1935 to the Southwest
Museum (now Autry Museum of the
American West).
Determinations
The Autry Museum of the American
West has determined that:
• The four lots of unassociated
funerary objects described above are
reasonably believed to have been placed
intentionally with or near individual
human remains, and are connected,
either at the time of death or later as part
of the death rite or ceremony and are
believed, by a preponderance of the
PO 00000

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 Shingle Springs
Band of Miwok Indians, Shingle Springs
Rancheria (Verona Tract), California and
the United Auburn Indian Community
of the Auburn Rancheria 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

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 Autry Museum of the American
West 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 Autry Museum
of the American West is responsible for
