The University of California, Berkeley plans to return 32 cultural items that meet the definition of unassociated funerary objects under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. These items, collected from various locations in Sacramento County, CA, have a cultural connection to the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians and others. Repatriation may begin on or after April 18, 2025, and interested tribes or organizations with cultural ties can submit requests. If there are competing claims, the University will determine the most appropriate requestor.

In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the Longyear Museum of Anthropology at Colgate University plans to return 26 cultural items to tribes or organizations with cultural ties to them, like the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians in California. These items include 25 shell beads and a shell pendant that were once associated with Native American burial practices. They were acquired as a gift in 1962 and may have originated from a historical collection in California. The repatriation process may begin after February 18, 2025, and other tribes or lineal descendants can also request the return of these items by providing evidence of their cultural connection.
