School administrators at the University of California, Berkeley are working to repatriate thousands of human remains and artifacts that the school took from Native American tribes and housed in its anthropology museum.

The effort is one of several at U.S. institutions of higher education to repatriate thousands of Native American artifacts and human remains that have been housed in the anthropology collections, in accordance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990. The act requires all government agencies and institutions that receive federal funding to return Native American “cultural items” to their respective tribes.
