The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District has completed an inventory under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and found a cultural connection between certain human remains and Native American tribes, specifically the Yankton Sioux Tribe of South Dakota. The remains, originally found in Prairie Dog Bay, South Dakota, will be eligible for repatriation starting May 12, 2025, as per the notice. Requests for repatriation can be filed by identified tribes or other eligible descendants according to the notice's guidelines. The National Park Service published this notice, but the determinations were made solely by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, CT has completed an inventory of two funerary objects. These objects are linked culturally to the Stockbridge Munsee Community, a federally recognized Tribe of Mohican and Munsee Lenape people. The nodules of red/orange ochre were taken from Native American graves at Fort Ticonderoga, NY before 1940. The museum is now in the process of potentially returning these items to the Tribe or any lineal descendants, with the repatriation possibly occurring on or after May 12, 2025.
