    Marshall University has completed an inventory of human remains and determined a cultural affiliation with several Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations. These remains were found at Huntington Mound in West Virginia and were identified during a review of a collection at the University's Geology Department. The University is making plans under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act to repatriate these remains starting February 18, 2025. Repurchasers can include the listed tribes or any other group proving a connection; in cases of multiple claims, Marshall University will decide the most appropriate requestor.

    Simple Explanation

    Marshall University is planning to give back some very old bones to Native American tribes because the bones belong to their ancestors. The University wanted to make sure they gave them to the right people, so they figured out which tribes to give them to and will start returning the bones in February 2025.
