SUMMARY:
Abstract of Information Available

unknown individual. The LMA
obtained the gorgets from NE Carter of
Elkhorn, WI in 1935. Mr. Carter was a
well-known collector and dealer of
Native American items active in the
early 1900s. The Sacramento Valley is
home to Nisenan-speaking groups, of
which Wilton Rancheria, California is
one. The LMA has no record that the
shell gorgets were exposed to any
hazardous substances while in the
LMA’s stewardship.
Determinations
The LMA has determined that:
• The five 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 January 13, 2025. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the LMA 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 LMA 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.
