NAGPRA- Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act
The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, or NAGPRA, is an act that protects Native American artifacts, especially human remains, from exploitative or inappropriate use, especially in museums or laboratories. The Act says that all institutions that receive federal funding must return all Native American remains back to the tribe holding claim on them. NAGPRA also dictates that if a museum or laboratory holds a particularly sacred or important item in its collection, the tribe has the right to ask for it to be returned to them, or repatriated. Under NAGPRA, tribes also have the right to visit museums and their storage to ensure that they are properly storing their artifacts and properly displaying them. If they disagree with a museum's treatment of a particular object, they may begin the repatriation process.
The Native American Grave Protection and Repatriation Act, or NAGPRA, was established in order to ensure that Native American artifacts, and specifically human remains, were treated with the proper respect. It came about after an incident in Iowa, when construction workers dug up over thirty human skeletons. Those of Caucasian people were quickly reinterred, but the Native American remains found were sent to a lab for study. NAGPRA also allows for artifacts to be given back to the tribe who lays claim to them, or repatriated. This part of NAGPRA applies especially to museums.
The mission system didn't treat the Native Americans well. They were beaten, not allowed to practice their traditions, and killed. Many missions have mass graves of Native Americans.
