    The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University has completed an inventory of human remains, determining a cultural connection between the remains and certain Native American tribes, specifically the Pueblo of Zia in New Mexico. The remains, consisting of hair clippings from individuals aged 12 to 15, were collected at the U.S. Indian Vocational School in New Mexico between 1930 and 1933. Repatriation of these remains, which aligns with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), can begin as early as February 18, 2025. Interested parties, such as lineal descendants or tribes, are invited to submit requests for repatriation.

    Simple Explanation

    The Harvard Peabody Museum found some old hair clippings from Native American kids in New Mexico and wants to give them back to the Pueblo of Zia tribe, starting February 18, 2025, just in case they belong to them.

    In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), Michigan State University plans to repatriate a cultural item classified as an unassociated funerary object. This item is a textile fragment in plaster, linked to the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, Michigan and Indiana, and was originally removed from a mound in Cass County, Michigan. The repatriation may take place on or after February 18, 2025, but other interested parties may submit requests for repatriation if they can demonstrate a cultural connection. Michigan State University will resolve any competing claims before proceeding with the handover.

    Simple Explanation

    Michigan State University is giving back a special item, like a piece of cloth, to a group of Native Americans called the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians because it belongs to them. They're planning to do this in February, but if other groups think it belongs to them too, they can speak up.
