Determinations
The University of California, Berkeley
has determined that:
• The five 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.
• The four sacred objects/objects of
cultural patrimony described in this
notice are, according to the Native
American traditional knowledge of an
Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization, specific ceremonial objects
needed by a traditional Native American
religious leader for present-day
adherents to practice traditional Native
American religion, and 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).
• There is a reasonable connection
between the cultural items described in
this notice and the Big Valley Band of
Pomo Indians of the Big Valley
Rancheria, 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

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 28, 2025. If competing
requests for repatriation are received,
the University of California, Berkeley

ACTION:
In accordance with the Native
American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the
University of Tennessee, Department of

and Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian
organizations in this notice.

remains in this notice may occur on or
after April 28, 2025.

SUMMARY:
Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing, at least,
one individual have been identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
This individual was removed from the
Bond/Bond’s Village site, 22TU530,
located in Tunica County, MS. Between
May 6 and November 1, 1968, human
remains and cultural items were
removed from the Bond Village site after

the Mississippi Archaeological
Association (MAA) received reports of
disturbance to the site from farming.
John Connaway, Mississippi
Archaeology Survey (MAS), oversaw
excavations, which were funded
partially by the MAA. Subsequent
review of ceramic styles from the Bond
Village site suggests a Mississippian
occupation (c. 1050–1400 CE) of the
site.
The circumstances that brought this
individual to UTK are currently
unknown, but available records indicate
that William Bass (UTK) examined some
of the individuals removed in the 1968
excavations directed by Connaway.
Based on past patterns of behavior, it is
likely that this individual was retained
by Bass at UTK, while the other
individuals from this site were most
likely housed elsewhere, likely at
MDAH or elsewhere in Mississippi. To
our knowledge, the human remains
described in this notice were not treated
with any potentially hazardous
substances.
Cultural affiliation between these
human remains and the Indian Tribe
listed in this notice was established via
anthropological information,
archaeological information,
geographical information, historical
information, Native American
Traditional Knowledge, and oral
tradition. Tunica County, MS, is part of
lands ceded to the United States by the
Chickasaw, as recorded in, Treaty with
the Chickasaw, 1832.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is clearly identified by the
information available about the human
remains described in this notice.
Determinations
UTK has determined that:
• The human remains described in
this notice represent the physical
remains of one individual of Native
American ancestry.
• There is a connection between the
human remains described in this notice
and The Chickasaw Nation.
Requests for Repatriation
Written requests for repatriation of the
human remains in this notice must be
sent to the authorized representative
identified in this notice under
ADDRESSES. Requests for repatriation
may be submitted by:
1. Any one or more of the Indian
Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations
identified in this notice.
2. 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
an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization with cultural affiliation.
Repatriation of the human remains
described in this notice to a requestor
may occur on or after April 28, 2025. If
competing requests for repatriation are
received, UTK must determine the most
appropriate requestor prior to
repatriation. Requests for joint
repatriation of the human remains are
considered a single request and not
competing requests. UTK is responsible
for sending a copy of this notice to the
Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian
organizations identified in this notice.

Abstract of Information Available
Human remains representing, at
minimum, one individual has been
identified. No associated funerary
objects are present. On an unknown
date, human remains representing one
individual were removed during an

Willamette Hotel in Salem, Oregon,
possibly by George Himes, the first
curator of the Oregon Historical Society.
On January 20, 1899, the individual was
documented in the accession records of
the Oregon Historical Society. The
ancestor exhibits ‘‘fronto-occipital
deformation’’ (frontal sloping and
flattening of the occipital consistent
with intentional cranial modification).
The OHS has no knowledge or record of
the presence of any potentially
hazardous substances used to treat the
human remains.
Cultural Affiliation
Based on the information available
and the results of consultation, cultural
affiliation is clearly identified by the
information available about the human
