The Robert S. Peabody Institute of Archaeology at Phillips Academy has completed an inventory of human remains and related objects as outlined by the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). They found a cultural connection between the remains and artifacts with several Native American tribes, including the Cherokee Nation and The Osage Nation. Repatriation of these remains and objects can begin after January 6, 2025, and requests must be made by tribes or individuals showing clear evidence of connection. The National Park Service published this notice, although decisions about the remains are made solely by the Institute.
Simple Explanation
The Robert S. Peabody Institute has found some old things and bones that belong to Native American tribes, and now they are giving them back to the right tribes, but they still have to be careful about safety stuff they don’t know much about.
