limonite; seeds, bark, deer premolar,
and a shell.
The Riverside Site was excavated
jointly by the Oshkosh Public Museum
(OPM) and MPM between 1961 and
1963. The excavation was led by Robert
Hrushka of OPM and Robert
Ritzenthaler of MPM. Most of the site
collections were donated to the MPM by
the Oshkosh Public Museum on 9/26/
1968. The Riverside Site is considered
a multicomponent site representing Late
Archaic to the Mississippian time
periods, with the main component being
a Late Archaic/Early Woodland
Transition/Red Ochre Culture cemetery
dating between 1000 and 100 BC.
The MPM is unaware of the presence
of any potentially hazardous substances
used to treat any of the human remains
or associated funerary objects.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is clearly identified by the

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).
