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

determined that: 

• The one object of cultural 

patrimony described in this notice have 

ongoing historical, traditional, or 

cultural importance central to the

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 item described in 

this notice and the Wiyot Tribe, 

California. 

Requests for Repatriation

the requestor is a lineal descendant or 

a culturally affiliated Indian Tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization. 

Repatriation of the cultural item in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after November 4, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

the SF State NAGPRA Program must
