Description: The Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) legislation has brought to light
the long-burning question of ownership of Native American
human remains and cultural items. The impact of the law
reaches federal land managers, tribal and museum officials,
as well as any agency that holds a collection and receives
federal funds. The time limits imposed for compliance with
summary lists and inventories of collections have created an
immediate need for a working knowledge of the law.
This course is designed to help those affected by the law
to comply in a timely and meaningful manner. The course
also focuses on recognition of potential problem areas in
order to allow for prospective planning and avoidance of
court intervention. Methods of compiling summaries and
inventories and interfacing with claimants, the regulations
and decisions of the Review Committee and future
ramifications of decisions and any court actions will also
be covered. The course will consist of lectures, case
studies, and participant involvement in discussions.
For further information and registration, contact
the Division of Continuing Education at UN-Reno,
702-784-4046. (Do not contact me -- I can't help you with
this.)
