  • 2021-02609 — Notice of Inventory Completion: Tennessee Valley Authority, Knoxville, TN
    Type:Notice
    Citation:86 FR 8800
    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) announced the completion of an inventory of human remains and funerary objects, without identifying any cultural affiliation with current Indian Tribes. They consulted with several tribes, including the Chickasaw and Cherokee Nations. The remains and artifacts, mostly from sites in Tennessee, were excavated during the 1940s. If no other tribes request the transfer by March 11, 2021, the artifacts and remains will be handed over to The Chickasaw Nation, as the items were originally found on land linked to them through historical treaties.

    Simple Explanation

    The Tennessee Valley Authority found old bones and other special items but couldn't figure out which Native American group they belonged to. If no other tribes ask for them by a certain date, they will give them to the Chickasaw Nation because the items were found on land connected to their history.

    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The University of Kansas plans to return a cultural item, specifically a discoidal stone, to the Chickasaw Nation in compliance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). This stone, considered an unassociated funerary object, was initially part of the Menninger Foundation's collection and transferred to the university in 1992. Repatriation of the item can occur on or after January 13, 2025. Any other Native American or Native Hawaiian organizations who believe they have a claim to the item can submit a request for repatriation.

    Simple Explanation

    The University of Kansas is giving back a special stone to the Chickasaw Nation because it belongs to them. They are following a law that helps return important items to Native tribes, and if other tribes think it belongs to them, they can ask for it, too.
