Title

  • Human Rights Day: Repatriating Native American Cultural Property & Remains

Summary

  • A panel discussion on repatriating Native American cultural property and remains was held to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the United Nations adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Repatriation is the process whereby specific kinds of American Indian cultural items in a museum collection are returned to lineal descendants and culturally affiliated Indian tribes, Alaska Native clans or villages and/or Native Hawaiian organizations. Human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony are all materials that may be considered for repatriation.
