Abstract of Information Available
A total of 44 cultural items have been requested for repatriation. The 44 objects of cultural patrimony are flaked and ground stone, faunal remains, and historic glass. These items were removed from two locations in Sacramento County, CA (CA-SAC-1217 and CA-Linda Creek). The items from CA-SAC-1217 were collected during a student survey in 1968-1970 and have since been housed at the California State University, Sacramento under accession 81-132. Items from CA-SAC-Linda Creek were located in California State University, Sacramento collections in 2024 and were assigned accession number 81-459. No acquisition records have been located.

The California State University, Sacramento has determined that:
• The 44 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 Wilton Rancheria, California.

Repatriation of the cultural items in this notice to a requestor may occur on or after September 5, 2024. If competing requests for repatriation are received, the California State University, Sacramento must determine the most appropriate requestor prior to repatriation.
