The Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, plans to return several cultural items to Native American tribes, in compliance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). These items include four unassociated funerary objects and five objects of cultural patrimony, such as baskets, which have significant cultural connections to the Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule River Reservation in California. The repatriation of these items can start on or after February 18, 2025. Competing claims for repatriation will be resolved by the museum, and the announcement is also open for any additional claims from descendants or affiliated tribes.

The Alfred W. Bowers Laboratory of Anthropology at the University of Idaho has completed an inventory and determined that certain human remains are affiliated with several Native American Tribes in California. These remains were originally discovered in the 1950s and 1960s in California, and were later transported to the University of Idaho, where they were re-discovered in 2024. The University plans to repatriate these remains to the affiliated tribes after April 17, 2025, as part of their responsibilities under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The tribes eligible for repatriation include several California Indian Tribes, such as the Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians and the Tule River Indian Tribe.
