Notice of Intended Repatriation: San 

Francisco State University NAGPRA 

Program, San Francisco, CA 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Native 

American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the San 

Francisco State University (SF State) 

NAGPRA Program intends to repatriate 

certain cultural items that meet the 

definition of objects of cultural 

patrimony and that have a cultural 

affiliation with the Indian Tribes or 

Native Hawaiian organizations in this 

notice. 

DATES: Repatriation of the cultural items 

in this notice may occur on or after 

November 4, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Elise Green, San Francisco 

State University NAGPRA Program, 

1600 Holloway Avenue, San Francisco, 

CA 94132, telephone (415) 338–1381, 

email egreen@sfsu.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 SF State 

NAGPRA Program and additional 

information on the determinations in 

this notice, including the results of 

consultation, can be found in the 

summary or related records. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

Abstract of Information Available 

A total of four cultural items are 

requested for repatriation. The four 

objects of cultural patrimony include a 

round basket, one round gift basket 

(Korbel), one twine round basket 

(Korbel), and one plain twine basket. 

These baskets were donated to the 

Treganza Anthropology Museum (TAM) 

at San Francisco State University in the 

1960s and 1970s. When the TAM closed 

in 2012, all the Native American items 

were transferred to the SF State 

NAGPRA Program. The basket cap is 

from the Northwest California Basket 

Collection. Two baskets were donated 

by Elsa Korbel in 1968. There no records 

of the donors of the other two baskets 

at SF State. 

It was once common practice by 

museums to use chemicals on cultural 

items to prevent deterioration by mold, 

insects, and moisture. To date, the SF 

State NAGPRA Program has no records 

documenting use of chemicals at our 

facilities, and we currently do not use 

chemicals on any cultural items. A 

former SF State professor, Dr. Michael 

Moratto, stated that staff used glues, 

polyvinyl acetate, and a solution called 

Glyptol to mend and stabilize cultural 

objects in the past. Prior non-invasive 

and non-destructive hazardous chemical 

tests conducted at the SF State NAGPRA 

Program repositories show arsenic, 

mercury, and/or lead in some storage 

containers, surfaces, and certain cultural 

items. 

Determinations 

The SF State NAGPRA Program has 

determined that: 

• 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 Grindstone Indian 

Rancheria of Wintun-Wailaki Indians of 

California and the Paskenta Band of 

Nomlaki Indians 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 

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 November 4, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received,

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 SF 

State NAGPRA Program is responsible 

for sending a copy of this notice to the 

Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian 

organizations identified in this notice 

and to any other consulting parties.

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 Autry Museum 

of the American West jointly with 

California Department of Parks and 

Recreation, and additional information 

on the determinations in this notice, 

including the results of consultation, 

can be found in the inventory or related 

records. The National Park Service is 

not responsible for the determinations 

in this notice. 

Abstract of Information Available 

Based on the information available, 

human remains representing at least 14 

individuals have been reasonably 

identified. The 30 associated funerary 

objects are one olivella shell, 19 faunal 

bone fragments, three charcoal pieces, 

one clam shell fragment, three oyster 

shell fragments, one mussel fragment, 

one crab shell fragment, and one 

unmodified stone. In 1982, human 

remains were found ‘‘in collection’’, 

wrapped in a Los Angeles Examiner 

newspaper dated September 4th, 1933, 

and a paper bag with ‘‘Carpinteria’’ 

written across it with no associated 

object number. Mishopshnow (CA–SBa– 

7) is a Chumash village and cemetery 

site that dates to the Late Period (A.D. 

1100 to contact) that is located in the 

city of Carpinteria. It is unknown how 

or when the human remains (17.C.71) 

came to the Southwest Museum (now 

part of the Autry Museum). 

Cultural Affiliation 

Based on the information available 

and the results of consultation, cultural 

affiliation is reasonably identified by the 

geographical location or acquisition 

history of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects described in 

this notice. 

Determinations 

The Autry Museum of the American 

West jointly with California Department 

of Parks and Recreation has determined 

that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of 14 individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The 30 objects described in this 

notice are reasonably believed to have 

been placed intentionally with or near 

individual human remains at the time of 

death or later as part of the death rite 

or ceremony. 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the human remains and 

associated funerary objects described in 

this notice and the Santa Ynez Band of 

Chumash Mission Indians of the Santa 

Ynez Reservation, California. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Written requests for repatriation of the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects 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 

a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization. 

Repatriation of the human remains 

and associated funerary objects in this 

notice to a requestor may occur on or 

after November 4, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

the Autry Museum of the American 

West jointly with California Department 

of Parks and Recreation must determine 

the most appropriate requestor prior to 

repatriation. Requests for joint 

repatriation of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects are 

considered a single request and not 

competing requests. The Autry Museum 

of the American West jointly with 

California Department of Parks and 

Recreation is responsible for sending a
