Museum to Repatriate Native Remains
The Peabody Museum completed an inventory under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and determined that certain Native American human remains are culturally affiliated with specific Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations. The museum will work with those tribes and organizations to return the remains respectfully; the remains were collected from the American Museum of Natural History (New York County, NY), the Sherman Institute (Riverside County, CA), and the Carson Indian School (now Stewart Indian School) (Carson City County, NV). If you represent one of the affiliated tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations, contact the museum to begin repatriation; no money changes hands as part of this process.
