Notice of Intent To Repatriate Cultural Items Amendment: California State University, Sacramento, Sacramento, CA
AGENCY:
National Park Service, Interior.
ACTION:
Notice; amendment.
SUMMARY:
In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the California State University, Sacramento has amended a Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items published in the Federal Register on March 2, 2023. This notice amends the cultural affiliation in a collection removed from Amador County, CA.
DATES:
Repatriation of the cultural items in this notice may occur on or after April 8, 2024.
ADDRESSES:
Dr. Mark Wheeler, Chief of Staff to President Luke Wood, California State University, Sacramento, 6000 J Street, Sacramento, CA 95819, telephone (916) 460-0490, email mark.wheeler@csus.edu.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA. The determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the California State University, Sacramento. The National Park Service is not responsible for the determinations in this notice. Additional information on the amendments and determinations in this notice, including the results of consultation, can be found in the summary or related records held by the California State University, Sacramento.
Amendment
This notice amends the determinations published in a Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items in the Federal Register (88 FR 13146, March 2, 2023). Repatriation of the items in the original Notice of Intent to Repatriate Cultural Items has not occurred. This notice amends the Tribes listed in the determinations section. Additional information of cultural affiliation was provided to support the addition of the Ione Band of Miwok Indians of California.
Determinations (as Amended)
Pursuant to NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, and after consultation with the appropriate Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations, the California State University, Sacramento has determined that:
• The 108 cultural items described above have ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American group or culture itself, rather than property owned by an individual.
• There is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the cultural items in this notice and the Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of California and the Ione Band of Miwok Indians of California.
Requests for Repatriation
Additional, written requests for repatriation of the cultural items in this notice must be sent to the Responsible Official identified in 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 8, 2024. If competing requests for repatriation are received, the California State University, Sacramento 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. The California State University, Sacramento is responsible for sending a copy of this notice to the Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this notice.
Authority: Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, 25 U.S.C. 3004, and the implementing regulations, 43 CFR 10.9.
Dated: February 29, 2024.
