The Museum of Riverside, working with the Hoopa Valley Tribe and other Native American groups, plans to return sacred cultural objects to their rightful owners. These items include traditional objects like dance aprons, baskets, and headdresses that were donated to the museum in the past. The museum is open to receiving claims from other tribes or descendants who believe they have a connection to these objects by February 22, 2021. If no additional claims are received, the items will be transferred to the Hoopa Valley Tribe. This process is guided by the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).
Simple Explanation
The Museum of Riverside wants to give back special things like baskets and hats to the people they belong to, called the Hoopa Valley Tribe, by February 22, 2021, but if anyone else thinks these things belong to them, they need to say so quickly.
