    The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University has completed an inventory of human remains in compliance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). These remains are hair clippings taken from a 15-year-old identified as "Chemehuevi" during the early 1930s at the Fort Mohave Indian School, Arizona. The museum has determined there is a cultural connection with the Colorado River Indian Tribes. Repatriation of the remains may proceed after April 18, 2025, with requests being accepted from relevant tribes or individuals who demonstrate the necessary cultural or lineal affiliation.

    Simple Explanation

    The museum at Harvard has found some hair from a Native American teenager that was taken a long time ago. They figured out who it belongs to and plan to give it back to the right group of people who can prove it belongs to them, starting soon.

    The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University has completed an inventory of human remains in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and has identified cultural affiliations with several Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations. The remains were collected from various locations, including the Fort Mohave Indian School in Arizona, the Pawnee Indian Reservation in Oklahoma, and the Sherman Institute in California, and consist mostly of hair clippings. Repatriation of these remains may begin after April 16, 2025, and requests for repatriation can be submitted by affiliated tribes, organizations, or individuals who provide sufficient evidence of a cultural connection.

    Simple Explanation

    The Peabody Museum at Harvard checked which Native American tribes a certain collected hair belonged to, so they can give it back to the right tribes if they ask for it. But, they're not clear on how they figured out which tribes it belongs to or what happens if multiple tribes ask for the same hair.

    The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University has completed an inventory of human remains in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The remains, primarily hair clippings from individuals identified as Navajo, were collected during the early 1930s from various locations in Arizona, California, and New Mexico. The museum is working to repatriate these remains to the Navajo Nation or other culturally affiliated tribes. Requests for repatriation can be made by certain tribes, organizations, or lineal descendants, and such repatriation may occur after January 17, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The Peabody Museum at Harvard found some old hair clippings from Navajo people, and they want to give them back to the Navajo Nation next year, but they first need to figure out who the rightful owners are.
