Abstract of Information Available

    A total of two cultural items have been requested for repatriation. 
The two objects of cultural patrimony are a piece of travertine 
limestone and one lot of unidentified missing material. Mary Elizabeth 
``Betty'' Shutler and the UC Davis Archaeology Field School of 1963 
performed a cursory investigation at Tolenas Springs, near Fairfield, 
California. Only one piece of travertine was collected from this quarry 
area (UC Davis Accession 2). The cultural affiliation of the Tolenas 
Springs material is with the Patwin Tribes: Cachil DeHe Band of Wintun 
Indians of the Colusa Indian Community of the Colusa Rancheria, 
California; Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation of the Cortina Rancheria 
(previously listed as Kletsel Dehe Band of Wintun Indians); and the 
Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, California. The University is unaware of any 
treatment of the objects of cultural patrimony with pesticides, 
preservatives, or other substances that represent a potential hazard to 
the object or to persons handling the object.

Determinations

    UC Davis has determined that:
     The two objects 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 Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, 
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 April 18, 2025. If competing requests for 
repatriation are received, UC Davis 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. UC Davis 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.
    Authority: Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act,
