SUMMARY: In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and

inventory of associated funerary objects and has determined that there 
is a cultural affiliation between the associated funerary objects and 
Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations in this notice.

DATES: Repatriation of the associated funerary objects in this notice 
may occur on or after December 12, 2024.

OK 74104, telephone (918) 596-2747, email <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#731f120601125e11010a121d07330607061f00125d161706"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="4824293d3a29652a3a3129263c083d3c3d243b29662d2c3d">[email protected]</span></a>.

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 
Gilcrease Museum, 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, associated funerary objects 
have been reasonably identified. The five associated funerary objects 
are four lots of shell beads and one lot of glass beads. These were 
removed likely in the early to mid-20th century from three sites in 
Sacramento County, CA: Johnson Mound, Hollister Mound, and Calhoun 
Mound. Thomas Gilcrease, founder of Gilcrease Museum, likely purchased 
these in the 1950s.

Cultural Affiliation

    Based on the information available and the results of consultation, 
cultural affiliation is clearly identified by the information available 
about the associated funerary objects described in this notice.

Determinations

    The Gilcrease Museum has determined that:
    <bullet> The five 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.
    <bullet> There is a reasonable connection between the associated 
funerary objects described in this notice and the Ione Band of Miwok 
Indians of California and the Wilton Rancheria, California.

    Repatriation of the associated funerary objects in this notice to a 
requestor may occur on or after December 12, 2024. If competing 
requests for repatriation are received, the Gilcrease Museum must

considered a single request and not competing requests. The Gilcrease 
Museum is responsible for sending a copy of this notice to the Indian 
Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this notice.
