In line with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), the Beloit College, Logan Museum of Anthropology plans to return five unassociated funerary objects, specifically shell gorgets, that have a cultural link to the Wilton Rancheria, California. The gorgets were obtained from NE Carter in 1935 and are believed to have been placed with human remains as part of traditional death rites. Repatriation may commence on or after January 13, 2025, and any competing claims will be assessed by the museum to determine the rightful requestor.
Simple Explanation
In simple words, Beloit College in Wisconsin is planning to give back some special necklaces that used to belong to Native American Tribes in California because it's the right thing to do according to a law that helps protect Native American history. If no one else says they should get the necklaces by January 13, 2025, the college will send them to their rightful owners.
