    In accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the No Man's Land Museum has completed an inventory of human remains and associated funerary objects but found no direct descendants or tribal connections. The remains and objects, originally excavated in Oklahoma, represent at least three Native American individuals. The museum is accepting repatriation requests, which may begin after February 18, 2025, from eligible claimants who can demonstrate a cultural affiliation. If there are competing claims, the museum will decide the most suitable claimant.

    Simple Explanation

    The No Man's Land Museum found some old things and bones from Native American people but couldn't find their family or a tribe they belonged to. If someone can show they're related, they can ask to have the items back after February 18, 2025.

    The No Man's Land Museum in Goodwell, Oklahoma, has completed an inventory of human remains under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The museum determined that there are no lineal descendants or tribes with cultural connections to these remains. However, repatriation of the remains can proceed after February 18, 2025, if requested by a lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization that can prove a connection. The museum undertook consultations with several tribes, though no affiliation was found.

    Simple Explanation

    The No Man's Land Museum found some old human bones but couldn't figure out which tribe they belong to, so they are waiting to give them back to the right tribe once someone proves they belong.
