Dear Museum Colleagues:

Please share the following announcement with all interested parties.

The National Park Service invites proposals for FY 2007 Native American 
Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) grants.  

NAGPRA is the federal law that provides a process for museums and federal 
agencies to return certain Native American cultural items to lineal 
descendants, culturally affiliated Indian tribes, and Native Hawaiian 
organizations.  Two types of grants are available. Consultation/Documentation 
Grants are awarded annually and range from $5,000 to $75,000. Deadline is 
March 1. You may submit draft proposals (optional) by December 29, 2006, for 
review and comment. Repatriation Grants of up to $15,000 are awarded on an 
ongoing basis, October through June.  Grants guidelines and full application 
materials are available online at: http://www.cr.nps.gov/nagpra/grants. Our 
new NAGPRA Grants to Tribes and Museums brochure is available online at: 
http://www.cr.nps.gov/nagpra/GRANTS/Grants_Brochure.pdf. For more 
information, contact: Michelle Joan Wilkinson, Grants Coordinator,
