SUMMARY:
Abstract of Information Available
A total of 271 lots of cultural items
representing two distinct collections
have been requested for repatriation.
The first collection of objects of
cultural patrimony consists of 80 lots of
groundstone, 54 lots of faunal bone, 31
lots of metate frags, 17 lots of debitage,
32 cores, 20 hammerstones, six bifaces,
two pecking tools, two lots of ochre,
seven manos, six lots of asphaltum, 10
lots of shell, one lot of eggshells, and
one lot of land snail shell. These
materials were excavated in 1990 from
CA–SBR–6815 by a cultural resource
firm who later donated a portion of the
collection to CSUSB as a teaching
collection. This collection has no
ancestral remains or associated funerary
objects. There was no known testing
completed on the collection housed at
CSUSB.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 227 / Monday, November 25, 2024 / Notices
At an unknown time prior to 1990, a
mortar and pestle were removed from a
residential address in the city of San
Bernardino east of East Twin Creek and
West of Little Sands creek, north of 40th
street. These objects of cultural
patrimony were excavated during
construction at the residence and were
kept by the homeowner until being
donated to the University in February of
2023. Testing on these materials has not
taken place as the materials were held
in the private collection of the
homeowner before coming directly to
the University.
Determinations
The CSU San Bernardino has
determined that:
• The 271 lots of material 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
of an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the cultural items described in
this notice and the Yuhaaviatam of San
Manuel Nation (previously listed as San
Manuel Band of Mission Indians,
California).

SUMMARY:
Abstract of Information Available
A total of 145 cultural items have
been requested for repatriation. The 14
unassociated funerary objects removed
from Thistle Mound (CV–12) in
Sacramento, Sacramento County, CA,
include eight pieces of flat matting bone
needles, three stone discs, one
hammerstone, one string of Olivella
shell beads, and one string of clam shell
beads. The 131 unassociated funerary
objects removed from Lovejoy (Dalton)

Sacramento County, CA include two
lots of carbonized basketry material, one

basket fragment, 36 Haliotis ornament
pieces, six bipointed bone objects, 19
perforated carnivore canine teeth, 64
projectile points, and three perforated
mica pendants.
Between 1930 and 1936, the 145
unassociated funerary objects were
removed by Henry Gibbs, a private
collector and looter. In 1937, Paul A.
Walker purchased Gibbs’ Central Valley,
California archeological collection.
Walker was an amateur archeologist and
collector who worked by himself and
with other amateur archeologists, and in
collaboration with the University of
California and Sacramento Junior
College. Over the course of his life,
Walker amassed an extensive
archeological collection from
California’s Central Valley and smaller
collections from Northern and Southern
California, and outside of California. In
1968, Walker’s private archeological
collection was acquired by the San
Diego Museum of Man (now Museum of
Us) through a purchase/donation
transaction with Walker’s widow, Bessie
B. Walker.
Determinations
The Museum of Us has determined
that:
• The 145 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 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 Ione Band of Miwok
Indians of California 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
