SUMMARY:
Abstract of Information Available
A total of four cultural items have
been requested for repatriation. The four
objects of cultural patrimony are one lot
each of flaked stone, ground stone,
modified stone, and ochre. The cultural
items were collected from site CA–
YUB–25 in Yuba County, CA in the
1960s and 1970s. Items collected in the
1960s originate from archaeological
work done by the Central California
Archaeological Foundation under a
National Park Service contract. They
have since been housed at California
State University, Sacramento under
accession number 81–44. Items
collected in the 1970s are from survey
work by a former graduate student and
are cataloged under accession 81–43.
• The four 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 United Auburn
Indian Community of the Auburn
Rancheria of 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

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,
the California State University,
Sacramento must determine the most
appropriate requestor prior to
