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).

The Buffalo History Museum plans to return a historical item, known as the Red Jacket Peace Medal, to the Seneca Nation of Indians. This decision follows consultations with Native American groups, as the medal is recognized as part of the cultural heritage of the Seneca Nation. The item holds significance because it symbolizes peace and friendship, originally given to Seneca Chief Red Jacket by President George Washington in 1792. The museum has issued a notice for any potential claimants from other tribes or organizations to come forward by March 11, 2021, before proceeding with the transfer.
