    Princeton University has completed an inventory under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and found that the human remains in their collection are culturally affiliated with the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, California. These remains were originally collected in the late 1800s from Tomales Bay, CA, by a zoologist and later became part of Princeton's museum collection. Repatriation of the remains can occur after January 6, 2025, provided requests come from culturally affiliated tribes or proven descendants. Competing requests will be evaluated to find the most appropriate group for repatriation.

    Simple Explanation

    Princeton University found some very old human bones that belong to a group of Native Americans from California. They want to give the bones back to this group or any other related group by January 2025, but if more than one group asks for them, they'll have to decide who gets them.
