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.

If competing requests for repatriation are received, UC Davis must determine the most PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 appropriate requestor prior to repatriation. Requests for joint repatriation of the cultural items are considered a single request and not competing requests.
