    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s Division of Archaeology has completed an inventory under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). They have determined that human remains and funerary objects found at the Tallassee site in Tennessee are culturally connected to several Native American Tribes, including the Cherokee Nation and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. Requests for repatriation of these remains and objects may be made by these tribes or other eligible parties, and repatriation can occur starting April 18, 2025. If there are competing requests for repatriation, the Department will decide which is most appropriate.

    Simple Explanation

    The Tennessee people found some old bones and special objects that belonged to Native American Tribes a long time ago. Now, they're trying to give these things back to the tribal groups, like the Cherokee and the Muscogee (Creek) Nations, but they need to make sure they know who's the right owner before giving them away.

    In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the California State University, Sacramento plans to return four cultural items to Native American tribes. These items, collected in the 1960s and 1970s from Yuba County, California, are flaked stone, ground stone, modified stone, and ochre, which hold significant cultural importance. The university has determined that the items should be repatriated to the United Auburn Indian Community of the Auburn Rancheria of California. The repatriation may happen on or after April 18, 2025, but if other tribes also request the items, the university will decide which group is most appropriate to receive them.

    Simple Explanation

    California State University, Sacramento is giving back some special rocks to the Native American tribes because they are important to their culture, and this will happen soon, but there's still some confusion on how things will work if other tribes also want them.
