Several museums complete inventories under Native American Graves Protection Act

The Verde Valley Archaeology Center and Museum in Camp Verde, Arizona, along with the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff, have completed an inventory of human remains and associated funerary objects. They determined a cultural affiliation between these remains and Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations, according to the Federal Register.

Similarly, Antelope Valley College in Lancaster, California, has also finished its inventory of human remains and funerary objects, establishing cultural connections to Native groups as reported by the Federal Register.

The San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands, California, completed its inventory and found cultural affiliations between the human remains and Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations, the Federal Register noted.

These inventories were conducted in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), which requires institutions to identify and repatriate human remains and cultural items to affiliated Native groups.

The Federal Register serves as the official publication for these notices, although the current online version is a prototype and not yet legally binding, as explained in the documents.
