disturbance permit #2015–06 at 45– 

WH–11. During this work, several units 

were excavated for data collection 

purposes. 

During the WWU 2018–2020 

Repatriation and Rehousing Project 

described above, additional ancestral 

remains were found in the ‘‘faunal’’ bags 

from 1970–71, Test Cut 2. These newly 

identified remains were reported in a 

revised inventory and in published 

federal notice N5472. Subsequent work 

in the collections and consultation 

between WWU and the Lummi Nation 

has resulted in the identification of 

additional human remains and 

associated funerary objects from 45– 

WH–11. 

Cultural Affiliation 

Based on the information available 

and the results of consultation, cultural 

affiliation is clearly identified by the 

information available about the human 

remains and associated funerary objects 

described in this notice. 

Determinations 

The WWU has determined that: 

• The human remains described in 

this notice represent the physical 

remains of three individuals of Native 

American ancestry. 

• The 18 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. 

• There is a connection between the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects described in this notice and the 

Lummi Tribe of the Lummi Reservation 

and the Nooksack Indian Tribe. 

Requests for Repatriation 

Written requests for repatriation of the 

human remains and associated funerary 

objects in this notice must be sent to the 

authorized representative identified in 

this notice under ADDRESSES. Requests 

for repatriation may be submitted by: 

1. Any one or more of the Indian 

Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations 

identified in this notice. 

2. 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 

an Indian Tribe or Native Hawaiian 

organization with cultural affiliation. 

Repatriation of the human remains 

and associated funerary objects 

described in this notice to a requestor 

may occur on or after January 17, 2025. 

If competing requests for repatriation 

are received, the WWU must determine

repatriation. Requests for joint 

repatriation of the human remains and 

associated funerary objects are 

considered a single request and not 

competing requests. The WWU is

notice to the Indian Tribes and Native 

Hawaiian organizations identified in 

this notice.

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 January 17, 2025. 

ADDRESSES: Megon Noble, Repatriation

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 University of 

California, Davis and additional 

information on the determinations in 

this notice, including the results of 

consultation, can be found in its 

inventory or related records. The 

National Park Service is not responsible 

for the determinations in this notice. 

Abstract of Information Available 

The two lots of associated funerary 

objects are one lot of clamshell disc 

beads and one lot of Olivella beads. The 

associated funerary objects were 

anonymously mailed to the University 

of California, Davis Repatriation 

Coordinator with a return address of a 

mail depot in Tucson, Arizona. 

Enclosed with the associated funerary 

objects was a tag describing the items as 

‘‘burial beads’’ found ‘‘in Wintun Indian 

graves located on Gordon sight[sic] in 

California west of Sacramento River.’’ 

The tag also indicates that Jack and Vera 

Mills, amateur archaeologists from 

Arizona, purchased the beads in 1974. 

Based on search of records, UC Davis 

believes the Gordon site most likely 

refers to CA–NAP–448 (also known as 

CA–NAP–997, P–28–001171) or to 

another site in the Gordon Valley, Napa 

County. 

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 associated funerary 

objects described in this notice. 

Determinations 

The University of California, Davis 

has determined that: 

• The two 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. 

• There is a connection between the 

associated funerary objects described in 

this notice and the Cachil DeHe Band of 

Wintun Indians of the Colusa Indian 

Community of the Colusa Rancheria, 

California; Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation 

of the Cortina Rancheria (previously 

listed as Kletsel Dehe Band of Wintun 

Indians); and the Yocha Dehe Wintun 

Nation, California.
