The U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation has announced the completion of an inventory of human remains and associated funerary objects under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). These remains and objects are culturally affiliated with the Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations identified in the notice, specifically noting a connection to the Modoc Nation and the Klamath Tribes. The repatriation of these remains may occur on or after April 17, 2025. Reclamation invites written requests for repatriation from the tribes, organizations, or any lineal descendant who has evidence of cultural affiliation with the remains.
Simple Explanation
The government has checked some old bones and things found with them, and they know which Native American groups they belong to. Soon, they will give these back to the tribes they came from.
