Book Description:
In November 1990, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) was passed heralding a balance to the relationship between the Federal government, museums and the Native American community. No longer would Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations be unable to resolve control of Native American human remains and cultural items located in Federal agency repositories and museum collections around the country. Instead, NAGPRA gave Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations a process for seeking their return. This book is an examination of the healing, revival and trust-building as tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations work with museums and Federal agencies on mutual understanding and respect for Native communities, values traditions and ancestors.
