Description

Native American remains and human rights: Despite the passage of NAGPRA (Native American Grave Protection and Repatriation Act) Native Americans are still being confronted by some scientists claiming a right to own or control dead Indian bodies in order to conduct experiments on them perpetuating a double standard which began with early North American exploration that treated Indian bodies as property, curios or archeological artificts while dead bodies and graves of other citizens were protected by laws.
Human remains and NAGPRA: The Chief Archaeologist of the National Park Service explains the procedures and requirements of NAGPRA that requires the repatriation of Native American human remains and other cultural objects in public museum collections and those recovered from federal lands.
Native and other bodies: Addresses the track record of NAGPRA and also looks at objects other than human remains as a kind of "cultural body," thus looking at NAGPRA as an internally consistent whole.
Bone courts and Native American sovereignty: Considers a proposal to establish a Bone Court -- a new federal judicial forum to hear and decide disputes over museum collections of human remains, repatriation, burial sites, research on bones and to protect native sovereignty.
