The Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College is making changes to a previous notice regarding the repatriation of human remains under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). These changes update the cultural affiliations to include specific Native American tribes such as the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians and the Seminole Tribe of Florida. The museum will accept written repatriation requests from these tribes and other eligible claimants, with repatriation occurring no sooner than May 30, 2025. The National Park Service notes that it is not responsible for the determinations made in this notice.

In a notice from the National Park Service, Mercyhurst University has conducted an inventory under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and found a cultural connection between the remains of one individual and certain Native American Tribes. The remains, originally part of an Ohio museum collection, may be repatriated to the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians, Seminole Tribe of Florida, or The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, starting May 30, 2025. Any tribe, individual, or descendant not initially identified may also request repatriation if they can prove their connection. The university will handle any competing requests before returning the remains.
