History and Description of the Cultural Items

    On an unknown date, a basket (item 1-2-6/20; 1-3-24/72; 1-3-(38)/5; 
I-III-15) was donated to the San Francisco State University (SFSU) 
Treganza Anthropology Museum. There are no records at the Treganza 
Anthropology Museum concerning the acquisition of this item. The three-
rod, closed coiled basket has a globular bowl, measures 13 cm in height 
and 23 cm in diameter, is made of willow, sedge, bulrush root, and 
bracken fern, and is decorated with feathers, trade beads, and clam 
shell disk beads. The use of trade beads to ornament a three-rod coiled 
basket was characteristic of Dry Creek Pomo weavers. Based on 
consultation with the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, 
California (previously listed as the Dry Creek Rancheria of Pomo 
Indians of California) and other ethnographic research, the basket is 
an object of cultural patrimony, identified as a gift basket created 
for an important occasion, and is an item of cultural patrimony.
    On an unknown date, a basket (item 1-3-/80; (A73)) was donated to 
the SFSU Treganza Anthropology Museum. There are no records at the 
Treganza Anthropology Museum concerning the acquisition of this item. 
The closed twined basket has a globular bowl, measures 25 cm in height 
and 34 cm in diameter, and is made of willow, sedge, conifer root, and 
bracken fern root. The specific design techniques and elements used in 
this basket were characteristic of Dry Creek Pomo weavers. Based on 
consultation with the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, 
California (previously listed as the Dry Creek Rancheria of Pomo 
Indians of California), and other ethnographic research, the object is 
a cooking basket used with the traditional stone boiling

records at the Treganza Anthropology Museum concerning the acquisition 
of this item. The closed twined, bowl shaped basket, measures 30 cm in 
height and 43 cm in diameter, and was made of willow, sedge, conifer 
root and redbud. The specific design techniques and elements used in 
this basket were characteristic of Dry Creek Pomo weavers. Based on 
consultation with the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, 
California (previously listed as the Dry Creek Rancheria of Pomo 
Indians of California), and other ethnographic research, the object is 
a cooking basket used with the traditional stone boiling technique to

5) was donated to the SFSU Treganza Anthropology Museum. There are no 
records at the Treganza Anthropology Museum concerning the acquisition 
of this item. The three-rod, closed coiled basket has a flared bowl, 
measures 14 cm in height and 29 cm in diameter, made with willow, 
sedge, and bulrush, and is decorated with woodpecker feathers, clam 
shell disk beads, and white glass trade beads. The use of trade beads 
to ornament a three-rod coiled basket and the flat-bottomed, flared 
shape of the basket were characteristic of Dry Creek Pomo weavers. 
Based on consultation with the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo 
Indians, California (previously listed as the Dry Creek Rancheria of 
Pomo Indians of California), and other ethnographic research, the 
object is a washing basin used in a ceremony welcoming an newborn child 
into the world, and is a sacred object and an object of cultural 
patrimony.
    In 1970, Margaret Hindes Molarsky donated a basket (item 1-3-24/18; 
1-3-25/18; 70-1-2) to the SFSU Treganza Anthropology Museum. The 
single-rod, closed coiled beaded basket has a globular bowl, measures 5 
cm in height and 15 cm in diameter, is made of willow and sedge, and is 
decorated with glass beads. The specific design techniques and elements 
used in this basket were characteristic of Dry Creek Pomo weavers. 
Based on consultation with the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo 
Indians, California (previously listed as the Dry Creek Rancheria of 
Pomo Indians of California), and other ethnographic research, the 
object is a gift basket created for an important occasion and is an 
item of cultural patrimony.
    On an unknown date, a basket (item 1-3-24/64; I-III-6; I-III-3) was 
donated to the SFSU Treganza Anthropology Museum. There are no records 
at the Treganza Anthropology Museum concerning the acquisition of this 
item. The open-lattice, twined basket is bowl shaped, measures 16 cm in 
height and 25.5 cm in diameter, and is made with willow, sedge, and 
redbud. The lattice-twining with redbud design elements was 
characteristic of Dry Creek Pomo weavers. Based on consultation with 
the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, California (previously 
listed as the Dry Creek Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California), and 
other ethnographic research, the object is a storage basket made to 
store acorns or other dried foods for the entire community, and is an 
item of cultural patrimony.
    On an unknown date, a basket (item 1-3-24/L; 1-53629) was donated 
to the SFSU Treganza Anthropology Museum. There are no records at the 
Treganza Anthropology Museum concerning acquisition of this item. The 
three-rod, closed coiled feathered basket is bowl shaped, measures 6 cm 
in height and 15.5 cm in diameter, is made with willow, sedge, bulrush, 
and dogbane, and is decorated with white feathers, clam shell disk 
beads, and abalone pendants. The Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo 
Indians believed the basket was the work of a Dry Creek Pomo 
traditional healer and visionary named Wala-Wala. Based on consultation 
with the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, California 
(previously listed as the Dry Creek Rancheria of Pomo Indians of 
California), and other ethnographic research, the basket was used 
during healing ceremonies and is a sacred object and an object of 
cultural patrimony.
    In 1976, Margaret Hindes Molarsky donated a basket (item 76-07-1) 
to the SFSU Treganza Anthropology Museum. The unusual multi-technique 
twined basket has a flared bowl shape, measures 34.5 cm in height and 
43 cm in diameter, and is made with a willow and redbud. The design 
techniques and elements used in this basket were characteristic of Dry 
Creek Pomo weavers. Based on consultation with the Dry Creek Rancheria 
Band of Pomo Indians, California (previously listed as the Dry Creek 
Rancheria of Pomo Indians of California) and other ethnographic 
research, the object is a burden basket created to carry food for the 
entire tribe, and is an object of cultural patrimony.

Determinations Made by the San Francisco State University

    Officials of the San Francisco State University have determined 
that:
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), the two sacred objects 
and objects of cultural patrimony described above are specific 
ceremonial objects needed by traditional Native American religious 
leaders for the practice of traditional Native American religions by 
their present-day adherents and these cultural items are also objects 
of cultural patrimony that have ongoing historical, traditional, or 
cultural importance central to the Native American group or culture 
itself, rather than property owned by an individual.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D), the six objects of 
cultural patrimony described above have ongoing historical, 
traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American 
group or culture itself, rather than property owned by an individual.
     Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of 
shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the eight 
baskets and the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians.

Additional Requestors and Disposition

    Representatives of any other Indian tribe that believes itself to 
be culturally affiliated with the sacred objects and the objects of 
cultural patrimony should contact Jeffrey Boland Fentress, San 
Francisco State University NAGPRA Program, c/o Department of 
Anthropology, San Francisco, CA 94132, telephone (415) 338-3075 before 
January 11, 2016. Repatriation of the sacred objects and the objects of 
cultural patrimony to the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians may 
proceed after that date if no additional claimants come forward.
