Abstract of Information Available
A total of four lots of cultural items have been requested for repatriation. The four lots of cultural items are one lot of necklaces, one lot of various beads, one lot of various buttons, and one lot of faunal bones. The cultural items are objects of cultural patrimony removed from Auburn, CA. The items were later presented to the Archaeological Survey Association (ASA). Once ASA disbanded, the cultural items were held at University of Redlands until they were donated to San Bernardino County Museum.

San Bernardino County Museum has determined that:
• The four lots of 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 United Auburn Indian Community of the Auburn Rancheria of 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.
