Abstract of Information Available Based on the information available, associated funerary objects removed from Bennett Mound or Bennett Site (CA-SAC-16), Sacramento County, CA have been identified. On an unknown date, the associated funerary objects were likely removed by Jeremiah B. Lillard, based on handwriting found on item tags. On a date prior to 1965, Arthur Grutzmacher, a collector and dealer from Mukwonago, WI, obtained the associated funerary objects. Following his death in 1965, the associated funerary objects were bequeathed to the Mukwonago Community Library. The three associated funerary objects are one lot of shell beads, one lot of glass and stone beads, and one bone tube. Mukwonago Community Library has no knowledge of any potentially hazardous substances used to treat the associated funerary objects. Cultural Affiliation Based on the information available and the results of consultation, cultural affiliation is clearly identified by the information available about the associated funerary objects described in this notice. Determinations The Mukwonago Community Library has determined that: • The three objects described in this notice are reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally with or near individual human remains at the time of death or later as part of the death rite or ceremony. • There is a reasonable connection between the associated funerary objects described in this notice and the Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of California; California Valley Miwok Tribe, California; Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians of California; Ione Band of Miwok Indians of California; Jackson Band of Miwuk Indians; Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, Shingle Springs Rancheria (Verona Tract), California; Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians of the Tuolumne Rancheria of California; United Auburn Indian Community of the Auburn Rancheria of California; and the Wilton Rancheria, California.

Requests for repatriation may be submitted by: 1. Any one or more of the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations identified in this notice. 2. 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.
