Summary
The Kansas State Historical Society has finished checking its collection and found that some human remains and funeral items belong to Native American tribes or Native Hawaiian groups. This means these items will be returned to the right communities. If you’re part of these tribes or groups, keep an eye out for how and when the items will be sent back—no money changes hands, just respect and care.

Repatriation of Native remains to tribes
If you are a member of an Indian Tribe or a Native Hawaiian organization that is culturally affiliated, the Kansas State Historical Society identified human remains and associated funerary objects as belonging to your community. Those items will be returned to the affiliated tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, and the transfers will occur without any exchange of money and with attention to respectful care.
