Repatriation of Native human remains
Harvard’s Peabody Museum completed an inventory under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act and found that some human remains are culturally affiliated with Indian Tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations. The museum says it will work with those communities to return the remains respectfully. The remains were collected from the Fort Mohave Indian School (Mohave County, AZ), the Pawnee Indian Reservation (Pawnee County, OK), and the Sherman Institute (Riverside County, CA); affiliated tribes and organizations should watch for updates about how and when returns will occur.
