     The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA)
     was enacted in 1990 to address the rights of lineal descendants,
     Indian tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations to certain Native
     American cultural items.  Since that time, museums and federal
     agencies have provided Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations
     with summaries of their Native American collections and inventories of
     human remains and associated funerary objects in their control.
     Federal agencies have also provided information to Indian tribes and
     Native Hawaiian organizations regarding inadvertent discoveries and
     planned excavations on federal and tribal land.

     The Honorable Sherry Hutt is a judge with the Maricopa County Superior

     C. Timothy McKeown, Ph.D., is with the National Park Service's
     Archeology & Ethnography Program where he is team leader for the
     implementation of NAGPRA.  Dr. McKeown has worked as a cultural
     resource manager for the Navajo Nation and the Jicarilla Apache Tribe.
