***Survey on the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act***
The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) was
enacted in 1990, almost 30 years ago. This fall, the University of Denver
Museum of Anthropology received a grant from the Institute of Museum and
Library Services (IMLS, MG-70-18-0050-18) to develop a network of
practitioners to support NAGPRA implementation. To that end, they are
conducting a nation-wide survey of museum professionals and NAGPRA
representatives of tribes, Native Hawaiian organizations, and federal and
state agencies.  The goal is to develop a picture of NAGPRA implementation
30 years in and to identify opportunities for the future.

Please take a moment to lend your voice to the conversation! The survey is
anonymous and will take about 10 minutes. Please answer the questions as
completely and honestly as possible. Your feedback will be used to inform
the scope and direction of this community of practice.

The hope is to talk to as many people as possible, so please forward the
survey link (https://udenver.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9shmcoehFpXncAR) to
colleagues and organizations engaged in this work.
