The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGRA) became law on November 16, 1990, requiring Federal agencies and museums to repatriate Native American human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony to lineal descendants and culturally affiliated Indian tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations. During the 25 years since its enactment, the National Park Service (NPS) has been responsible for both implementation of the Act and compliance with the...
African Americans and NAGPRA: The Call for an African American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (2016)
Increasing urbanization and gentrification have led to the rapid development of some of America's largest cities. As urban space becomes more scarce, African American heritage sites face increasing threats from developers and city planners alike. In light the 50th anniversary of the National Heritage Preservation Act and more than 25 years after the passage of NAGPRA, this paper highlights the disparities and challenges associated with preserving African American heritage sites in the USA....

Archaeology and NAGPRA in Alaska: Examples of Intentional Excavation (2019)
This is an abstract from the "Beyond Collections: Federal Archaeology and "New Discoveries" under NAGPRA" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Intentional excavation of human remains and associated items subject to NAGPRA occurs rarely. Such excavations are only permitted under particular circumstances and only with approval of lineal descendants (as appropriate) and affiliated tribes. In Alaska, National Park Service staff have facilitated...

AzBAD: Arizona Biological Affiliation Database (2016)
The Arizona Biological Affiliation Database (AzBAD) is a catalog of comparative cranial morphometric data designed to provide an additional tool for assessing cultural affiliation in compliance with state (ARS §41-844/865) or federal (NAGPRA) legislation and facilitate repatriation of human remains to descendant communities. This information is used to create comparative samples that encompass the variability inherent in ancient ancestral populations. Measurements from crania of individuals...
Aztec West Ruin: Perishables and Pottery from Various National Park Service Projects and Collections
This project includes images of perishable artifacts (textiles, basketry, etc.) and pottery recovered from Aztec Ruins during the course of numerous National Park Service (NPS) projects. Some of the artifacts were donated to the NPS and may have originated at sites other than Aztec Ruins. The artifacts are part of the NPS collections and are housed at either Aztec Ruins National Monument, Hibben Center at the University of New Mexico, or Western Archeology and Conservation Center. Most of the...
Behind the Scenes--Geology of the Site: Full report on the geoarchaeological data and research objectives (1998)
Stafford presents in this document an argument for additional testing, in this case archaeological excavations of the area of the Columbia River floodplain immediately adjacent to where the remains of Kennewick Man were discovered. He and others submitted, on August 26, 1997, an application to the Walla Walla District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for an ARPA permit to authorize study of the site where the Kennewick Man skeleton was found (hereafter, the "Site"). The permit application...

Best Practices and Community Engagement for Reinternment of CA-LAn-270 (Los Altos Village) Cultural Materials on a National Registry Listed Site (2015)
Within the core of NAGPRA is a spirit of collaboration and consultation between institutions, investigators and native communities. At CSULB, we have partnered with Tongva/San Gabrielino community members and university administration to reinter cultural remains from CA-LAn-270 (Los Altos Village Site), a site excavated in the 1950s. Community interests have centered on placing the re-interment place on university campus property and at a location of CA-LAn-234, a National Register listed...
Bioarchaeological Resources on the Northwestern Plains: A Bibliography (1996)
This bibliography is a selected list of publications and manuscripts pertaining to sites with known mortuary contexts on the Northwestern Plains. It is not a commentary on the political and ethical concerns surrounding the studying of human skeletal remains or mortuary sites but on the results of past research. A few of the sources which have been included focus on osteological data rather than reference to particular archaeological sites. Others are outside the scope of the geographic area but...
Biological Samples are Subject to Repatriation: Using NAGPRA as an Example Framework (2023)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Reimagining Repatriation: Providing Frameworks for Inclusive Cultural Restitution", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Biological samples collected from the physical remains of Indigenous Ancestors have been regarded by institutions and researchers as an inanimate resource, independent of the individual from whom they were removed. These Ancestral samples are used in destructive archaeometric research such as...
A Brief and True History of SAA's Involvement with NAGPRA (2016)
SAA was heavily involved in NAGPRA's passage, and played a key role in shaping the compromises embodied in this law. The Society's positions with respect to the many repatriation bills considered by Congress were conditioned by SAA's "Statement Concerning the Treatment of Human Remains," a policy adopted in 1986. SAA strongly and actively supported the final bill precisely because it conformed closely, albeit not perfectly, to the principles articulated in this statement. The policy was also...
Building Community in the Northeast (2024)

The Northeast NAGPRA Community of Practice was founded in 2023 in an effort to build community and strategize on issues and opportunities related to NAGPRA implementation that are unique to the region. Our goal is to improve trust, develop...
