    The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University has completed an inventory of human remains in compliance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). These remains are hair clippings taken from a 15-year-old identified as "Chemehuevi" during the early 1930s at the Fort Mohave Indian School, Arizona. The museum has determined there is a cultural connection with the Colorado River Indian Tribes. Repatriation of the remains may proceed after April 18, 2025, with requests being accepted from relevant tribes or individuals who demonstrate the necessary cultural or lineal affiliation.

    Simple Explanation

    The museum at Harvard has found some hair from a Native American teenager that was taken a long time ago. They figured out who it belongs to and plan to give it back to the right group of people who can prove it belongs to them, starting soon.

    The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation has completed an inventory of Native American human remains and determined a cultural connection with the Mescalero Apache Tribe from New Mexico. Under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, these remains, discovered in Texas, may be repatriated starting April 18, 2025. Any interested Native tribes or direct descendants can request repatriation, and if multiple requests are made, the department will decide the right requestor. The notice ensures compliance with legal and respectful handling of Native American ancestral remains.

    Simple Explanation

    The government has found some old bones that they think belonged to the Mescalero Apache Tribe, and starting April 18, 2025, they want to give them back to the tribe where they belong. If more than one group wants the bones, they'll decide who gets them fairly.
