The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University has completed an inventory of human remains and determined that they are culturally affiliated with the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation. This determination is made under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). Repatriation of the remains can begin on or after April 17, 2025. Requests for repatriation can be made by the identified Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations, or by others who can demonstrate cultural affiliation.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service at the Hoosier National Forest plans to return human remains and funerary objects to the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma. These items, found at a site in Indiana, are associated with Native American ancestry and include bone fragments, a bear canine tooth, and a shell bead. The process follows the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), and claims must be made by March 19, 2026, or they become unclaimed. The National Park Service oversees these actions but is not responsible for identifying the remains.
