religious leader for present-day
adherents to practice traditional Native
American religion, and 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).
• There is a reasonable connection
between the cultural items described in
this notice and the Onondaga Nation.

SUMMARY:

Abstract of Information Available
One cultural item has been requested
for repatriation. The one object of
cultural patrimony, catalog 2–967, is a
coiled basket donated in 1937 by former
University of Oregon student A. (Ada)
Ossie Walton (1867–1944). A newspaper
article, which appears to be from 1937,
mentions that Walton began collecting
while still a student. She graduated in
1885. A hand-written note in the
Museum’s accessions files, which we
presume to be the donor’s, lists the
basket as ‘‘Large basket (told one of
tribes adjoining Navahoes)’’. This is also
what the partial old label on the base of
the basket reads. We believe this to be
an incorrect identification. Museum
staff have described the coiled basket as
‘‘Mission style’’ and attributed it to
Southern California Native peoples.
There is no additional information in
the Museum’s files relating to the
provenance of the basket.
Cultural Affiliation
The cultural item in this notice is
connected to one or more identifiable
earlier groups, tribes, peoples, or
cultures. There is a relationship of
shared group identity between the
identifiable earlier groups, tribes,
peoples, or cultures and one or more
Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations. The following types of
information were used to reasonably
trace the relationship: expert opinion,
including Native American traditional
knowledge.
Determinations
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its
implementing regulations, and after
consultation with the appropriate
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations, the University of Oregon
Museum of Natural and Cultural History
has determined that:
• The one object of cultural
patrimony described in this notice has
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 item described in
this notice and the Pechanga Band of
Indians (previously listed as Pechanga
Band of Luiseno Mission Indians of the
Pechanga Reservation, California).
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for
repatriation of the cultural item in this

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 item in
this notice to a requestor may occur on
or after January 29, 2025. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the University of Oregon Museum of

ADDRESSES:
Abstract of Information Available
Based on the information available,
human remains representing, at least,
one individual has been reasonably
identified. The three associated funerary
objects are one lot of lithic materials,
one lot of pottery sherds, and one lot of
grinding stones. In 1975, the University
of California, Riverside Archaeological
Research Unit (UCRARU) was
contracted by Hirsch and Koptionak
Consulting Engineers and Planners to
conduct an archaeological filed
reconnaissance of the Mason Valley
Ranch. The property is in Oriflamme
Canyon, adjacent to the Anza-Borrego
Desert State Park in central San Diego
County. During the survey
archaeologists recorded twenty
archaeological sites and a test unit in
archaeological site CA–SDI–4812.
Archaeologists removed approximately
175 items from the unit including
pottery sherds, lithic materials, and
grinding stones. A burnt bone fragment
was also removed from the unit and
initially identified as faunal remains. In
2024, at the request of tribal
representatives, an osteologist reviewed
the bone fragment and identified it as a
human rib fragment. During
consultation tribal representatives also
identified the objects in the collection to
be associated funerary objects. In the
report for the project, ARU Report #151,
archaeologists noted that cremation
burials have been previously identified
in the canyon as well as village sites and
surface artifacts. Tribal representatives
confirmed this to be true during
consultation and noted that they had
conducted repatriations of other burials
removed from the area.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is clearly identified by the
information available about the human

remains and associated funerary objects
described in this notice.
Determinations
The University of California,
Riverside has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• The three objects described in this
notice are reasonably believed to have
been placed intentionally with or near
individual human remains at the time of
death or later as part of the death rite
or ceremony.
• There is a reasonable connection
between the human remains and
associated funerary objects described in
this notice and the Campo Band of
Diegueno Mission Indians of the Campo
Indian Reservation, California; Capitan
Grande Band of Diegueno Mission
Indians of California (Barona Group of
Capitan Grande Band of Mission Indians
