    The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University plans to return four culturally significant items to the Osage Nation, as they qualify as objects of cultural patrimony under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). These items, woven bags or satchels collected in the early 1900s, are important to the Osage Tribe's heritage. Requests for the repatriation of these items can be made by other qualified tribes or lineal descendants until February 18, 2025, when the repatriation may occur. The National Park Service is assisting with the notice but is not responsible for the determinations made regarding the items' return.

    Simple Explanation

    Harvard's museum is giving back some special bags to the Osage Nation because they are very important to them. If other Native American tribes want these bags too, they have until February 18, 2025, to ask for them.

    In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Safford Field Office intends to return human remains and a funerary object to the rightful Native American groups. These remains and an associated bone were found in Graham County, Arizona, and stored since 1998. The BLM seeks claims for the remains from February 18, 2025, with priority given to certain Native American tribes. If no claim is received by January 20, 2026, the remains will become unclaimed. The National Park Service will help send out notices to relevant parties.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is planning to give old bones and a special object back to the Native American groups they belong to. If no one claims them by next year, the bones will be considered unclaimed.
