The Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act
provides criteria for determining the
ownership of Native American cultural
items that are excavated or discovered
on Federal or tribal lands after
November 16, 1990 [25 U.S.C. 3002 (a)].
Ownership or control of such items is,
with priority given in the order listed:
(1) In the case of human remains and
associated funerary objects, in the lineal
descendant of the deceased individual;
(2) In cases where the lineal
descendant cannot be ascertained or no
claim is made, and with respect to
unassociated funerary objects, sacred
objects, and objects of cultural
patrimony:
(i) In the Indian tribe on whose tribal
land the human remains, funerary
objects, sacred objects, or objects of
cultural patrimony were discovered
inadvertently;
(ii) In the Indian tribe or Native
Hawaiian organization that has the
closest cultural affiliation with the
human remains, funerary objects, sacred
objects, or objects of cultural patrimony;
(iii) In circumstances in which the
cultural affiliation of the human
remains, funerary objects, sacred
objects, or objects of cultural patrimony
cannot be ascertained and the objects
were discovered inadvertently on
Federal land that is recognized by a
final judgment of the Indian Claims
Commission or the United States Court
of Claims as the aboriginal land of an
Indian tribe:
(A) In the Indian tribe aboriginally
occupying the Federal land on which
the human remains, funerary objects,
sacred objects, or objects of cultural
patrimony were discovered, or
(B) If it can be shown that a different
Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization has a stronger cultural
relationship with the human remains,
funerary objects, sacred objects, or
objects of cultural patrimony, in the
Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization that has the strongest
demonstrated relationship with the
objects [43 CFR 10.6 (a)].
The Act directs that Native American
cultural items not claimed under
subsection (a) shall be disposed of in
accordance with regulations
promulgated by the Secretary of the
Interior in consultation with the Review
Committee, Native American groups,
representatives of museums, and the

scientific community [25 U.S.C. 3002
(b)]. One section of the regulations was
reserved for procedures to effect the
disposition of Native American cultural
items that are not claimed [43 CFR
10.7].
Participants in the consultation
meetings are requested to comment on
the following issues:
(1) How should the regulations
address distinctions between:
(a) human remains, funerary objects,
sacred objects, or objects of cultural
patrimony remaining in Federal care for
which ownership or control is with a
lineal descendant or an Indian tribe or
Native Hawaiian organization on whose
lands the cultural items were
discovered?
(b) human remains, funerary objects,
sacred objects, or objects of cultural
patrimony remaining in Federal care for
which an Indian tribe or Native
Hawaiian organization has stated a
claim based on cultural affiliation,
aboriginal land, or cultural relationship?
(c) human remains, funerary objects,
sacred objects, or objects of cultural
patrimony remaining in Federal care for
which a non-federally recognized Indian
group has stated a claim based on a
relationship of shared group identity?
(d) human remains and associated
funerary objects remaining in Federal
care for which no claim has been made?
(2)Do current regulations regarding
the curation of Federally-owned and
administered archaeological collections
[36 CFR 79] adequately address the
management, preservation, and use of
human remains, funerary objects, sacred
objects, or objects of cultural patrimony
remaining in Federal care?
