NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL NAGPRA PROGRAM
The National NAGPRA Program team appreciates your interest in the NAGPRA process and the work of the Program. Much is going on in the Program as this short memo will show. As of the end of October 2008, the first month of FY2009, the Program reports the following:
-The National NAGPRA Program Year End Report for FY 2008, has been posted to the website. This report has several expanded sections with facts and graphs.
-As of October 31, 2008, 33 NAGPRA notices were published in the new year, 4 of which were older drafts. New notice submissions are ahead of last year.
-The grant deadlines for FY2009 have been posted. Postcards are going out to tribes and museums and advertisements are being posted. The grants coordinator will receive draft grant proposals through December 31, for assistance in writing strong final proposals. Proposals are due March 2, 2009.
-Enhancements to technical search capabilities of Program records are proceeding, with new capabilities added every two weeks. It is now possible for tribes to request a search for all museums and Federal agencies that list a tribe in their summary or inventory. The Program has had numerous requests for this data from tribes, over the years, seeking to complete their records.
-Using the new search capabilities, intern Katherine Maas, under the direction of Sangita Chari, is completing a report on compliance of all museums and Federal agencies with the publication of notices for Native American human remains listed as culturally affiliated in their inventories. Further studies are planned, which will look at total holdings and dispositions of human remains in collections, affiliated or unidentified.
-Ms. Chari has also begun a retrospective of the grants program from its beginning in 1994. The result will be a full report to the Review Committee.
-The next Review Committee meeting has been set for May 23-24, at the Red Lion Hotel on 5 th, in downtown Seattle, Washington. Notice will be published shortly on dates for submission of agenda items at that meeting.
-The next Program sponsored NAGPRA training will be on May 22, at the Red Lion Hotel. A registration form will shortly be posted on-line.
-The first specialized training on grants will be offered on May 20-21, in downtown Seattle. The NPI website will shortly have more details on registration. This training will be offered twice in 2009. The instructors will be Jan Bernstein and Sangita Chari.
-Work is proceeding on the NAGPRA video project. Filming is scheduled for completion at the Review Committee meeting in May.
-The Program has received numerous calls on the progress of the CUI regulations, 43 CFR 10.11, which are under review at the Department.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) is a Federal law passed in 1990. NAGPRA provides a process for museums and Federal agencies to return certain Native American cultural items -- human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony - to lineal descendants, culturally affiliated Indian tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations.
The National NAGPRA program assists the Secretary of the Interior with some of the Secretary's responsibilities under NAGPRA. Among its chief activities, National NAGPRA develops regulations and guidance for implementing NAGPRA; provides administrative and staff support for the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Review Commitee; assists Indian tribes, Native Alaskan villages and corporations, Native Hawaiian organizations, museums, and Federal agencies with the NAGPRA process; maintains the Native American Consultation Database (NACD) and other online databases; provides training; manages a grants program; investigates allegations of failure to comply; and makes program documents and publications available on the Web, including the two NAGPRA brochures.
