The Burke Museum in Seattle, WA would be a great place to contact. They have carried out many repatriation events and have used it as an opportunity to build connections with Native American groups. They also house Kennewick Man, whose remains have been the subject of much conflict. I believe their NAGRPA coordinator is Megon Noble, and she is super duper knowledgeable and nice!
Good luck,
Shana

Hello All,

     My name is Erica Hamor and I am doing research on the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).  I am focusing on how NAGPRA has affected museums.  If anyone can help me on this topic it would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thank you,

Erica
