This webinar will be recorded.
Please join us for an information session about repatriation and how it relates to natural history collections, including zoological, botanical, paleontological, and geological collections. Speakers, including National NAGPRA Program Manager Melanie O’Brien and others, will discuss the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The program will delve into the scope of NAGPRA, recent updates to NAGPRA regulations, what your institution may need to do before an upcoming deadline, how to approach repatriation, and examples of repatriation involving non-anthropological collections. There will be time for audience Q&A at the end.
Intended audience:
-
Collections and curatorial staff across non-anthropological disciplines
-
Tribal, Native Hawaiian, and institutional representatives engaged in NAGPRA compliance and consultation
-
Researchers, students, and community members working with or interested in issues of repatriation
