FYI -- FY 1999 NAGPRA funding is still available for repatriation
     awards.  Tribes or museums may apply for repatriation awards.  See
     below for additional information.

     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

     Repatriation Awards will be granted to Indian tribes, Alaska Native
     villages and corporations, Native Hawaiian organizations, and museums
     to repatriate culturally affiliated Native American human remains and
     cultural items.  Appropriate costs can include:

     -- travel by Indian tribe, Alaska Native village and corporation,
     Native Hawaiian organization, or museum representatives to accompany
     human remains or other cultural items that are being repatriated;

     -- transportation of Native American human remains or cultural items
     that are being repatriated; and

     -- construction of appropriate containers for the transport and
     disposition of repatriated Native American human remains and cultural
     items.

     Museum applicants for Repatriation Awards MUST collaborate with the
     tribe(s), Alaska Native village(s) or corporation(s), or Native
     Hawaiian organization(s) to whom the human remains or cultural items
     are being repatriated.

     Applications for Repatriation Awards  will only be considered after
     publication of the required Notice of Inventory Completion or Notice
     of Intent to Repatriate in the FEDERAL REGISTER.

     Amounts for Repatriation Awards may vary up to $15,000.  Applications
     for Repatriation Awards will be considered as they are submitted.
     There is no specific deadline.
