From the brochure: The Native American Graves Protection
and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) statute has brought to light
the long-burning question of ownership of Native American
human remains and cultural itmes. The impact of the law
reaches federal and land managers, tribal and museum
officials, as well as any agency that holds a collection and
recieves federal funds. The time limits imposed for
compliance with summary lists and inventory deadlines create
an immediate need for working knowledge of the law. There
are numerous issues and quesitons being raised as to how to
apply the law, what items are covered, and the process of
compliance.
This course is designed to help those affected by the law to
comply in a timely and meaningful manner. the instructors
will discuss practical mehtods of compiling summaries and
inventories and communicating with claimants. They will
also discuss the regulations and the decisions of the NAGPRA
Review Committee and look at the future ramification sof
decisions and any court actions. The course will consist of
lectures, case studies, and participant involvement in
discussions.
