Abstract of Information Available 

A total of two cultural items has been 

requested for repatriation. The two 

objects of cultural patrimony are baskets 

that were donated to the University of 

Georgia libraries in 2016 from Nancy 

Montgomery. The objects of cultural 

patrimony were appraised prior to their 

donation and the appraisal details that 

the objects of cultural patrimony were 

from the following locations: Carson 

Valley and Lake Tahoe region in Nevada 

and California to the first half of the 

20th century. The Laboratory has been 

unable to locate information for any 

research on these objects and does not 

have any history of contamination. 

Determinations 

The University of Georgia, Laboratory 

of Archaeology has determined that: 

• The two objects 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 items described in 

this notice and the Washoe Tribe of 

Nevada & California (Carson Colony, 

Dresslerville Colony, Woodfords 

Community, Stewart Community, & 

Washoe Ranches). 

Requests for Repatriation

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

Repatriation of the cultural items in 

this notice to a requestor may occur on 

or after January 29, 2025. If competing

Hawaiian organizations identified in 

this notice and to any other consulting 

parties.
