Abstract of Information Available

    A total of 26 cultural items have been requested for repatriation. 
The 26 unassociated funerary objects are 25 shell beads and one shell 
pendant. The 25 ``discoidal clamshell wampum beads'' and the abalone

Determinations

    The LMA has determined that:
     The 26 unassociated funerary objects described in this

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 Shingle Springs Band of Miwok 
Indians, Shingle Springs Rancheria (Verona Tract), California.

    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

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 February 18, 2025. If competing requests for
