NAGPRA is in its second decade. The museum field is just becoming aware of the long-term policy implications of the act. This book shares the experiences of a decade, including a substantial sampling of museum policy and procedures for compliance, discussion of the meeting of two world views around museum implementation of NAGPRA, some examples of repatriation activities and of collaborations between museums and Native Americans, and a section on ethical considerations related to NAGPRA. The information contained in this report will assist museums in planning the long-term policies and relationships encouraged by the intent and spirit of the law.
"More than one million cultural items - and the remains of nearly forty thousand Native Americans - have been repatriated since the 1990 passage of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. The act, which addresses long-standing claims by federally recognized tribes, requires museums and federal agencies to return requested Native American cultural items to lineal descendants, culturally affiliated Indian tribes, and Native Hawai'an organizations. Drawing on case studies, personal reflections, historical documents, and statistics, Accomplishing NAGPRA reveals the day-to-day reality of implementing the act. The volume examines the grassroots, practical application of NAGPRA throughout the United States, reflecting the viewpoints of tribes, museums, federal agencies, attorneys, academics, and others invested in the landmark act"--Unedited summary from book cover.
