Repatriation policies in the States and Canada are very different because of
the difference in law.  Where the Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act must be considered when writing repatriation policy in the
States, in Canada these policies are governed by the terms of individual
tribal and provincial treaties.  I would suggest you contact Andrea LaForet
at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa.
