    In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University has completed an inventory of human remains from the Pawnee Indian Reservation in Oklahoma. These remains are culturally affiliated with the Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma. Repatriation of these remains can occur on or after April 17, 2025, and requests can be made by affiliated tribes or individuals. If multiple requests for repatriation are received, the museum will decide the most appropriate requestor.

    Simple Explanation

    In a notice, the Peabody Museum at Harvard said they found some old Native American bones, and they plan to give them back to the right Native American group—the Otoe-Missouria Tribe in Oklahoma—starting April 17, 2025. Sometimes more than one group might want the bones, and the museum will decide who should get them.

    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.
