The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University has completed an inventory of human remains under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). These remains were collected at the Uintah and Ouray Agency in Utah and consist of hair clippings from four Native American individuals. The museum has determined that these remains are culturally affiliated with the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, the Ute Indian Tribe, and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. Requests for their repatriation can be submitted by these tribes or other eligible parties, with the process possibly beginning after April 17, 2025.
