They determined that these remains and objects are culturally connected to Native American tribes living in Atka, Alaska. The agency plans to return these items to the rightful tribe on or after April 18, 2025. Requests for repatriation can be submitted by the tribes mentioned in the notice or by others who can prove a cultural connection.
