NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AWARDS $2.1 MILLION IN NATIVE AMERICAN
GRAVES PROTECTION AND REPATRIATION ACT GRANTS
The National Park Service (NPS) announced today the award of
$2,166,035 to assist museums, Indian tribes, Native Hawaiian
organizations, and Alaska Native villages and corporations with
implementation of the Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The award was divided among 38 projects.
Projects to be undertaken by grant recipients include: the
repatriation of the remains of nearly 2,000 individuals to the Pueblo
of Jemez; a project to document ancestral Wichita human remains using
anthropological methods; a statewide conference to discuss chemically
contaminated cultural materials in museum collections; a project to
develop a comprehensive series of land maps that delineate the
traditional homelands and hunting territories of the Lakota Indians;
as well as numerous tribal consultation visits to museums.
The National Park Service (NPS) received 77 applications from 52
Indian tribes, Alaska Native villages and corporations, and Native
Hawaiian organizations, and 20 museums for a total request of
approximately $4.4 million. Proposals were reviewed by NPS staff and
a selection panel of Native Americans and museum professionals.
NAGPRA, enacted in 1990, requires museums and Federal agencies to
inventory and identify Native American human remains and cultural
items in their collections and to consult with culturally affiliated
Indian tribes, Alaska Native villages and corporations, and Native
Hawaiian organizations regarding repatriation. Section 10 of the Act
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to award grants to implement
provisions of the Act.
Additional information regarding these awards can be obtained from
Dr. Francis P. McManamon, Chief, Archeology and Ethnography Program,
National Park Service, 1849 C Street, NW, NC340, Washington, D.C.,
20240.
