Updates from the Southeastern NAGPRA Community of Practice (SNACP): Successes and Challenges

Summary

This is an abstract from the "In Search of Solutions: Exploring Pathways to Repatriation for NAGPRA Practitioners (Part IV): NAGPRA in Policy, Protocol, and Practice" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Over 33 years have passed since the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 (NAGPRA) was ratified. As practitioners, we recognize the progress that has been made and acknowledge the vast amount of repatriation work that still must occur. The Southeastern NAGPRA Community of Practice (SNACP) group was created in 2020 as a means of enabling NAGPRA practitioners to connect and have conversations that focus on common issues, practical advice, potential solutions, and the everyday realities of implementing NAGPRA with a particular emphasis on the Southeastern United States. This poster will share resources and ways to connect further, and will discuss efforts regarding split and shared collections as well as how increased communication, collaboration, and partnerships are key to successful repatriations.
