The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University has completed an inventory under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, identifying human remains with cultural ties to certain Indian Tribes. The remains, specifically hair clippings from a 15-year-old identified as "Concow," were collected in the early 1930s at the Sherman Institute in California and later donated to the museum. The museum confirms a cultural connection between the remains and the Mooretown Rancheria of Maidu Indians of California and the Round Valley Indian Tribes. The repatriation of these remains may proceed after April 17, 2025, with requests accepted from affiliated tribes or other qualifying claimants.

The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh (UWO) has completed an inventory of associated funerary objects, in line with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), and found a cultural connection between these items and the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin.

Requests for the repatriation of these objects may be made by April 17, 2025, by the Menominee Tribe or any other eligible claimant entity not specified in the notice.
