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 Turtle Bay 

Exploration Park, and additional 

information on the determinations in

Abstract of Information Available 

A total of one object of cultural 

patrimony has been requested for 

repatriation. The single Pomo basket is 

listed in museum records as a ‘‘gift 

type’’ and was acquired by the Redding 

Museum and Art Center (predecessor of 

TBEP) in 1981 as part of a donation 

from James ‘‘Jim’’ Dotta. Mr. Dotta was 

a local instructor at Shasta Community 

College in Redding, CA, an 

archaeologist, and heavily involved in 

the RMAC. He was also an avid 

collector of books, historical objects, 

artworks, and Indigenous Belongings. A 

handwritten note in the accession 

record states the basket was purchased 

from Mildred’s Antiques for $25.00 in 

1959, but no further provenance 

information is provided and it’s not 

clear in which city, state, or country 

Mildred’s Antiques operated. 

Conservation records from April 1992 

indicate dermestid damage was 

discovered on baskets stored near this 

Pomo basket. Therefore, treatment was 

conducted on this basket and others. In 

addition to freezer treatment, the basket 

was placed in an acid-free box with 

paradichlorobenzene suspended from 

the lid. Paradichlorobenzine is a 

fumigant insecticide used in mothballs 

and a deodorant in cleaners, sanitizers, 

and deodorizers. There is no 

documentation as to when the treatment 

was complete, but no chemical 

treatments have been used in Turtle Bay 

Collections since 2000. 

Determinations 

Turtle Bay Exploration Park has 

determined that: 

• The one object 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 item described in 

this notice and the Sherwood Valley 

Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California. 

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 December 12, 2024. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

Turtle Bay Exploration Park 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. Turtle Bay 

Exploration Park 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.
