Abstract of Information Available 

Based on the information available, 

human remains representing at least one 

individual has been reasonably 

identified. No associated funerary 

objects have been identified. This site is 

in the northwest part of San Diego 

County near the City of Vista. The site 

(CA–SDI–5775) is on a property located 

at N3668457 E476305 and was surveyed 

06/06/1978. The site was tested in June 

1980 by CRM firms Mooney, Jones, and 

Stokes and in 1978 by RECON (M.J. 

Hatley and Carol Walker) as part of a 

cultural assessment program before 

development of the property. The report 

described the site as measuring about 50 

meters north-south and 40 meters eastwest, consisting of dark midden of at 

least 12–18 inches in depth with flaked 

lithic tools, flakes and debitage, faunal 

shell and bone, and ceramics. The 

collection was brought to the San Diego 

Archaeological Center on 08/26/2006 for 

curation. The human remains were 

identified while preparing the collection 

for permanent curation. To confirm that 

it was human, the bone was inspected 

by the San Diego County Office of the 

Medical Examiner. The items were 

removed from the collection and placed 

in the Center’s NAGPRA Vault awaiting 

Tribal notification and possible 

repatriation following their 

determination that they were human. 

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 described 

in this notice. 

Determinations 

The San Diego Archaeological Center 

has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of at least one individual of 

Native American ancestry.

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 South Dakota 

State Historical Society (SDSHS), and

for the determinations in this notice. 

Abstract of Information Available 

A total of one cultural item has been 

requested for repatriation. The one 

unassociated funerary object is a 

political peace medal, a Jefferson Peace 

Medal. 

Based on the information available 

from both the SDSHS donor records, 

collector’s notes, historical accounts, 

and oral tradition, this Jefferson Peace 

medal was removed from its burial 

context in a Sahnish (Arikara) village in 

1935 by a teenager. The political medal 

in question is reasonably believed to 

have been presented to the Arikara chief 

Lightning Crow in 1804 by Lewis and 

Clark. Upon their return to the village in 

1806, the medal had been transferred to 

another Arikara chief, Grey Eyes. Chief 

Grey Eyes was known to have the medal 

in his possession at or around the time 

of this death. 

The medal was retained by the family 

of the teenage boy until its donation to 

the SDSHS on September 17, 2004. 

Recently, the family provided additional 

information on the medal’s origins, 

which confirmed its original 

provenience from a burial context. 

Despite establishing a reasonable 

owner of the unassociated funerary 

object, no lineal descendant was 

located. At this time, SDSHS staff have 

not identified any known lineal 

descendant(s). 

Additionally, the above-described 

unassociated funerary object was not

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 210 / Wednesday, October 30, 2024 / Notices 86361 

treated with any type of hazardous 

chemicals/substances nor treated with 

any type of preservation agent or 

chemical while in the care and custody 

of the SDSHS. It is reasonably believed 

that the previously mentioned private 

citizens did not treat the medal with any 

type of hazardous or preservative 

chemical, substance, or agent. 

Determinations 

The SDSHS have determined that: 

• The one unassociated funerary 

object described in this notice is 

reasonably believed to have been placed 

intentionally with or near human 

remains, and is connected, either at the 

time of death or later as part of the death 

rite or ceremony of a Native American 

culture according to the Native 

American traditional knowledge of a 

lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or 

Native Hawaiian organization. The 

unassociated funerary object has been 

identified by a preponderance of the 

evidence as related to human remains, 

specific individuals, or families, or 

removed from a specific burial site or 

burial area of an individual or 

individuals with cultural affiliation to 

an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization. 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the cultural item described in 

this notice and the Three Affiliated 

Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, 

North Dakota. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Additional, written requests for 

repatriation of the cultural item 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 item in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after November 29, 2024. If 

competing requests for repatriation are 

received, the SDSHS must determine 

the most appropriate requestor prior to 

repatriation. Requests for joint 

repatriation of the cultural item are 

considered a single request and not 

competing requests. The SDSHS ais 

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.

Abstract of Information Available 

A total of 332 cultural items have 

been requested for repatriation. The 332 

sacred objects/objects of cultural 

patrimony are listed below. 

The majority of the items requested

Oakland Public Museum. The Oakland 

Public Museum (OPM) and its 

collections were merged into the 

Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) 

in 1969. Unless otherwise noted below, 

there are no known dates or 

circumstances related to when any of 

the items on this claim were originally 

removed from their source 

communities. Unless otherwise noted 

below, all items included on the claim 

were described by OPM/OMCA as 

‘‘Klamath River Indian’’ at the time of 

acquisition. 

One hundred and twenty-four items 

(H16.10A–H16.249) representing two 

smoking pipes, three stirring paddles, 

10 spoons, three dishes, one model boat,

woodpecker scalps, one lot of iris fiber, 

20 regalia items (necklace, hair 

ornament, headdress, mantle, dance 

skirts), one deerskin, one dance wand, 

and 61 baskets (basket bowls, basket 

hats, basket trays, basket cradle, tobacco 

basket, basket plaque, burden basket) 

were purchased by the Oakland Public 

Museum on April 6, 1909 from John 

Dagget. The three dishes were later 

described as ‘‘lower Klamath.’’ Larry 

Dawson (Senior Museum 

Anthropologist at UC Berkeley) 

attributed the four basket plaques as 

Yurok. Ron Johnson (Clarke Museum) 

attributed one basket hat as Karuk. The 

Pulikla Tribe of Yurok People (formerly 

Resighini Rancheria) attributes the 

basket hat as Yurok. The Yurok Tribe 

attributed smoking pipes, dishes, dance 

skirts, and headbands as Yurok. 

One storage basket (H16.576) was 

purchased by the Oakland Public 

Museum on April 6, 1909. 

Twenty-seven items (H16.984– 

H16.1046) representing one fox skin, 20 

regalia items (head roll, headdress,

basket bowls, were purchased from Paul 

A. Brizard whose family owned and 

operated A. Brizard, Inc. Department 

Store in Arcata, California by the

1910. Researchers Lynn Risling and 

Julian Lang attributed one dance skirt as 

Karuk. Information provided by the
