5996 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 11 / Friday, January 17, 2025 / Notices 

The five objects of cultural patrimony 

are baskets. Three of these baskets are 

from Tulare County, California and are 

identified as Yokuts. One of these was 

acquired by Frank Engles, a prospector 

who traveled and collected throughout 

the northwestern part of the United 

States, in the early 20th century. 

Thomas Gilcrease purchased his 

collection in 1950, which was 

transferred to the City of Tulsa in 1955. 

Two of the baskets are identified as 

Yokuts. One, from the early 20th 

century, was gifted to the Museum by 

Wynetka Ann Reynolds and Thomas 

Kirschbaum in 2014. 

Determinations 

The Gilcrease Museum 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. 

• The five 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 Tule River Indian 

Tribe of the Tule River Reservation, 

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 February 18, 2025. If competing 

requests for repatriation are received, 

the Gilcrease Museum 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. The Gilcrease 

Museum 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.

Abstract of Information Available 

The 20,052 cultural items were 

removed from unknown locations by 

Anthony Zallio. This collection was 

donated to the University by his estate 

in the 1950s. The 20,052 unassociated 

funerary objects consist of faunal and 

floral remains; flaked and ground stone; 

historic materials; modified bones, 

shells and stones; unmodified stones; 

geologic samples; hair; and textiles. 

They have since been housed at the 

University under accession 81–172.16. 

Based on Zallio’s collecting history, it 

was determined through consultation 

that these objects are likely unassociated 

funerary objects originating from 

Miwok/Nisenan sites already 

represented in the larger Zallio 

Collection. At least 10 objects are 

currently missing and the University 

continues to look for them. 

Determinations 

The California State University, 

Sacramento has determined that: 

• The 20,052 cultural items described 

above are reasonably believed to have 

been placed with or near individual 

human remains at the time of death or 

later as part of the death rite or 

ceremony and are believed, by a 

preponderance of the evidence, to have 

been removed from a specific burial site 

of a Native American individual. 

• There is a reasonable connection 

between the cultural items described in 

this notice and the Ione Band of Miwok 

Indians of California and the Wilton 

Rancheria, California.

Abstract of Information Available 

A total of 67 cultural items have been 

requested for repatriation. The 67 

objects of cultural patrimony/sacred 

objects were donated to the St. Joseph 

Museums by three collectors: Harry L. 

George, Carol Getty, and Mrs. L.T. 

Golding. Harry L. George was actively 

collecting Indigenous objects during the 

years of 1904–1922, mostly through 

purchasing from other dealers and 

occasionally through direct purchases 

from tribes when on personal trips. The 

Harry L. George Collection was donated 

to the St. Joseph Museums, Inc. in 1944. 

The sacred objects/objects of cultural 

patrimony from the Harry L. George 

collection include five necklaces, one 

pair of earrings, one otter skin case, 16 

weapons, one basket, three bags, five 

rattles, one wand, three bowls, two 

spoons, one knife, one needle, one item 

identified as a ‘‘shot maker’’, one pipe 

stem, one life stick, one buffalo hide 

quiver with arrows, six objects of 

applique or beaded work, one flute, one 

drum staff, one drum, two metal 

armbands, one metal badge, one scalp 

bag, two animal skulls, and one sacred 

bundle with one associated figure that 

was previously separated. The buffalo 

hide quiver has previously been treated 

with arsenic, as noted in written 

communication between Harry L. 

George and the original seller of the 

object. The Getty Collection was 

donated to the St. Joseph Museums, Inc. 

in 2018. The sacred objects/objects of 

cultural patrimony from the Getty 

Collection include one necklace, three 

baskets, and one basket lid. The Mrs. 

L.T. Golding collection was donated to 

the St. Joseph Museums, Inc. in 1953. 

The sacred object/object of cultural 

patrimony from the Golding collection 

is one cradleboard doll. 

Determinations

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).

between the cultural items described in 

this notice and the Winnebago Tribe of 

Nebraska.
