SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is here given in accordance with the 
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 
U.S.C. 3005, of the intent to repatriate a cultural item under the 
control of the Palm Springs Art Museum, Palm Springs, CA, that meets 
the definition of sacred objects under 25 U.S.C. 3001.
    This notice is published as part of the National Park Service's 
administrative responsibilities under NAGPRA, 25 U.S.C. 3003(d)(3). The 
determinations in this notice are the sole responsibility of the 
museum, institution, or Federal agency that has control of the Native 
American cultural item. The National Park Service is not responsible 
for the determinations in this notice.

History and Description of the Cultural Item

    Prior to 1988, one sacred object was removed from a shrine on the 
Pueblo of San Felipe in San Felipe Pueblo, NM. In 1988, George Shaw of 
Aspen, CO, purchased this object from a private dealer in Arizona. In 
2004, Shaw sold the object to Perry J. Lewis of Danbury, CT. Lewis held 
the object in his private collection until December 18, 2012, when he 
gifted it to the Palm Springs Art Museum. The one sacred object is a 
Stone Mountain Lion Shrine Fetish.
    On March 16, 2015, Ronald Tenorio, Governor of the Pueblo of San 
Felipe, New Mexico, sent a letter to the Palm Springs Art Museum 
claiming this object as a sacred cultural object. Four markers with 
inlay indicate to Governor Tenorio that this object is one that has 
been noted as missing from a shrine on the Pueblo of San Felipe, New 
Mexico.

Determinations Made by the Palm Springs Art Museum

    Officials of the Palm Springs Art Museum have determined that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), the cultural item 
described above is a specific ceremonial object needed by traditional 
Native American religious leaders for the practice of traditional 
Native American religions by their present-day adherents.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of 
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the sacred 
object and the Pueblo of San Felipe, New Mexico.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian tribe or Native 
Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to claim 
these cultural items should submit a written request with information 
in support of the claim to Shelley Orlowski, Registrar, Palm Springs 
Art Museum, 101 Museum Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92263, telephone (760) 
322-4805, email [email protected], by July 9, 2015. After that 
date, if no additional claimants have come forward, transfer of control 
of the sacred object to the Pueblo of San Felipe, New Mexico, may 
proceed.
    The Palm Springs Art Museum is responsible for notifying the Pueblo 
of San Felipe, New Mexico, that this notice has been published.
