Museum to Repatriate Native Remains
The University of Florida’s Florida Museum of Natural History (FLMNH) 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 or Native Hawaiian organizations. The museum is preparing to return those remains to the affiliated tribes or organizations, and members of those tribes should watch for notices about how and when repatriation will occur.
