NAGPRA Repatriation of Remains
If you are a lineal descendant, Indian Tribe, or Native Hawaiian organization connected to items held by the Tonto National Forest, the Forest Service intends to return human remains and cultural items (associated and unassociated funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony) to the prioritized tribe or descendant under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). No money will change hands; the notice documents the intended disposition to ensure items go to the right people.
