        The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA)
     was enacted in 1990 to address the rights of lineal descendants,Indian
     tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations to certain Native American
     cultural items. Since that time museums and Federal agencies have
     provided Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations with
     summaries of their Native American collections and inventories of
     human remains and associated funerary objects in their control.
     Federal agencies have also provided information to Indian tribes and
     Native Hawaiian organizations regarding inadvertent discoveries and
     planned excavations on Federal and tribal lands.

        This course is designed to help those affected by the law to comply
     with its ongoing obligations in a timely and meaningful manner. The
     legislative history and regulations are reviewed as a basis for
     effective decisions making. Special attention is given to the
     consultation requirements imposed by the statute and to review
     committee recommendations and case law that elaborate on the
     regulatory definitions and procedures. Grants available through the
     National Park Service are also discussed. The course consists of
     lectures, video case studies, and class exercises.
