    The Harvard University Archives at Pusey Library have completed an inventory of human remains under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), determining a cultural link between the remains and the Stockbridge Munsee Community, Wisconsin. These remains, unearthed from an "Indian grave" in Lake George, NY, in 1883, have no associated funerary objects and were transferred to Harvard in 1971. Repatriation may start on or after January 17, 2025, following requests from the culturally linked tribes or lineal descendants. If multiple requests are received, the most suitable requestor will be chosen by Harvard University Archives.

    Simple Explanation

    Harvard found some old bones from a Native American grave and plans to return them to the right Native American group or family starting January 17, 2025. If more than one group asks for the bones, Harvard will decide who gets them.

    In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, CT has completed an inventory of two funerary objects. These objects are linked culturally to the Stockbridge Munsee Community, a federally recognized Tribe of Mohican and Munsee Lenape people. The nodules of red/orange ochre were taken from Native American graves at Fort Ticonderoga, NY before 1940. The museum is now in the process of potentially returning these items to the Tribe or any lineal descendants, with the repatriation possibly occurring on or after May 12, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bruce Museum found some special colorful rocks from a Native American burial site and plans to give them back to the right Native American group soon, but they haven't figured out yet how to handle it if more than one group asks for them.
