In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the California State University, Sacramento plans to return four cultural items to Native American tribes. These items, collected in the 1960s and 1970s from Yuba County, California, are flaked stone, ground stone, modified stone, and ochre, which hold significant cultural importance. The university has determined that the items should be repatriated to the United Auburn Indian Community of the Auburn Rancheria of California. The repatriation may happen on or after April 18, 2025, but if other tribes also request the items, the university will decide which group is most appropriate to receive them.

The California State University, Sacramento has completed an inventory of associated funerary objects and identified a cultural link with certain Native American tribes, as part of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).

The objects in question were initially collected in the 1950s and given to the university, though some objects are currently missing. The notice is issued by the National Park Service but the determinations and responsibility rest with the university.
