The U.S. Department of Defense, Navy, Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) plans to transfer human remains and cultural items to Native American tribes, following the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). This involves two sets of human remains and various cultural objects uncovered on naval lands in California. Tribes like the La Jolla Band of Luiseno Indians will have priority for these items' return. If no claim is made by March 17, 2026, these items may be declared unclaimed.
Simple Explanation
The Navy at a naval base in California is going to give back some ancient belongings and remains to Native American tribes, like giving toys back to a friend. If no one asks for them by March next year, they might not know what to do with them.
