    The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is planning to repatriate 265 cultural items that are considered culturally important to the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians of the Stewarts Point Rancheria, California. These items were excavated in 2011 along Highway 1 in Sonoma County and include shells, bones, beads, stones, and other artifacts. The repatriation process is in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and may occur on or after January 6, 2025. If other claims are made on these items, Caltrans will determine the rightful recipient based on the submitted evidence.

    Caltrans is giving back some special old things, like shells and beads, to the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians because they belong to them. They dug them up along a road, and they're making sure it's done fairly by January 6, 2025.
