Abstract of Information Available 

Based on the information available, 

human remains representing, at 

minimum, three individuals were 

collected at the Sherman Institute, 

Riverside County, CA. The human 

remains are hair clippings collected 

from one individual who was recorded 

as being 19 years old, one individual 

who was recorded as being 18 years old, 

and one individual who was recorded as 

being 17 years old and identified as 

‘‘Nez Perce.’’ Samuel H. Gilliam took 

the hair clippings at the Sherman 

Institute between 1930 and 1933. 

Gilliam sent the hair clippings to George 

Woodbury, who donated the hair 

clippings to the PMAE in 1935. No 

associated funerary objects are present. 

Cultural Affiliation 

Based on the available information 

and the results of consultation, cultural 

affiliation is clearly identified by the 

information available about the human 

remains described in this notice. 

Determinations 

The PMAE has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of three individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the human remains described 

in this notice and the Nez Perce Tribe. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Written requests for repatriation of the 

human remains in this notice must be 

sent to the Responsible Official 

identified in 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 

a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization. 

Repatriation of the human remains in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after October 21, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

the PMAE must determine the most 

appropriate requestor prior to

considered a single request and not 

competing requests. The PMAE is 

responsible for sending a copy of this 

notice to the Indian Tribe identified in 

this notice.
