Indiana University has completed an inventory under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and identified human remains of four Native American individuals. The remains are culturally affiliated with The Osage Nation and were originally collected in Missouri. Repatriation of the remains may start on or after January 13, 2025, and interested tribes, organizations, or descendants can submit written requests for repatriation. If multiple requests are received, Indiana University will determine the most appropriate party to return the remains to.
Simple Explanation
Indiana University found some bones that belong to Native American people from a long time ago. They figured out which tribe they belong to, and now they're going to give them back, starting next year, to the right people.
