I second Alexandra's advice; if you are specializing in NAGPRA the best place to look is Federal jobs, especially with the National Parks Service, Army Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Land Management.  State level historical societies used to be a good bet, but since the economic downturn most of them have hiring freezes on, if not full out lay-offs. 

Assuming you are using all your contacts from university, my guess is you'll need to expand your networks to outside the state.  As a Michigander myself and an alumna of a university museum studies and history program there (Go Chips!!  Sorry, old habits die hard) I found myself in that situation when I graduated several years ago.  With the Michigan economy and the fact that most museum jobs are nonprofit, it's going to be probably a decade or more before hiring picks up in museums there.  Luckily most of my connections and staff at the museums I interned with told me that well before graduation so I was prepared.  If you haven't started, I'd recommend regional/nationwide searches for jobs. 

Another option is consultation services.  With a specialty like NAGPRA, you could still be affiliated with smaller institutions who may need the expertise but who cannot pay for a staff member.  Consultation would be a way to get your foot in the door with lots of places as well.  Good luck!
