Claims for the remains and object need to be submitted by January 16, 2026; otherwise, they will be considered unclaimed. Disposition may occur after February 18, 2025, unless competing claims arise, in which case the most suitable claimant will be chosen.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to give back a Native American person's bones and a special object that were found in Nebraska to the Oglala Sioux Tribe, and if nobody else claims them by January 16, 2026, they're going ahead with this plan. They will decide who gets them if more than one group asks for them, and if nobody does, they'll figure out what to do next.
