    Indiana University has completed an inventory under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and identified human remains of four Native American individuals. The remains are culturally affiliated with The Osage Nation and were originally collected in Missouri. Repatriation of the remains may start on or after January 13, 2025, and interested tribes, organizations, or descendants can submit written requests for repatriation.
