and the collection is the result of a 2011 

excavation in support of an 

encroachment permit. The collection 

was accessioned at Sonoma State 

University (SSU), under Caltrans control 

as Accession 2011–05 totaling 265 

catalogue numbers. 

All 265 catalogue numbers have been 

requested for repatriation because they 

have been identified as objects of 

cultural patrimony. The 265 catalogue 

numbers are shell, faunal bone, beads, 

ground stone, lithics, and historic-era 

and modern items. Based on the 

information available and the results of 

consultation, cultural affiliation is 

clearly identified by the information 

available about the objects of cultural 

patrimony described in this notice. 

There are no known/documented 

potentially hazardous substances used 

to treat any of the cultural items. 

Determinations 

Caltrans has determined that: 

• The 265 catalogue numbers 

containing objects of cultural patrimony 

described in this notice are, according to 

the Native American traditional 

knowledge of an Indian Tribe or Native 

Hawaiian organization, specific 

ceremonial objects needed by a 

traditional Native American religious 

leader for present-day adherents to 

practice traditional Native American 

religion, and 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). 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the cultural items described in 

this notice and the Kashia Band of Pomo 

Indians of the Stewarts Point Rancheria, 

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 January 6, 2025. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

Caltrans must 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. Caltrans 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.

Knoblock. 

Determinations 

The Quincy Museum Inc. has 

determined that: 

• The four unassociated funerary 

objects described in this notice are 

reasonably believed to have been placed 

intentionally with or near human 

remains, and are 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 objects have 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 items described in 

this notice and the Wilton Rancheria, 

California.

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 January 6, 2025. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received,
