    The Prescott National Forest plans to handle the disposition of Native American human remains found on federal or tribal land, as outlined by the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The remains date back to discoveries in 2014 and 2020 in Yavapai County, Arizona. Disposition will go to the most appropriate Native American organization unless a claim is made by January 20, 2026, after which the remains will be considered unclaimed. The remains are currently held securely, and the process prioritizes cultural affiliations determined by consultations.

    Simple Explanation

    The government found old Native American bones in Arizona and wants to give them back to the right Native American groups, but if no group claims them by a certain date, the bones will be called "unclaimed." There are some rules about who should get the bones first, but it's not very clear how those decisions are made.

    The Prescott National Forest intends to transfer a funerary object, a ceramic jar, found near human remains in Arizona, to eligible descendants or Native Tribes as outlined by the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The Hopi Tribe of Arizona has been identified as having priority for this object. Claims for its disposition must be submitted by January 8, 2026. If there are competing claims, the Prescott National Forest will determine the rightful claimant, and this transfer can occur after February 18, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The Forest Service found a clay jar in Arizona, and they want to give it back to the Native American people, especially the Hopi Tribe, because it was part of a special ceremony. They are checking to make sure they give it to the right group, and people have until January 8, 2026, to claim it.

    The Prescott National Forest is planning to transfer human remains found on federal or tribal lands to Native American groups through a process outlined by the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The remains, discovered in the Strickland Wash area of Arizona, are determined to belong to a Native American individual. Several tribes, including the Hopi, Hualapai, Yavapai-Apache, Yavapai-Prescott, and Zuni, have priority for claiming the remains. If no claim is made by January 20, 2026, the remains will be considered unclaimed.

    Simple Explanation

    The Prescott National Forest found some old bones that belong to a Native American person, and they are trying to give them back to the right Native American group, but if nobody claims them by next year, they won't know what to do with them.
