NAGPRA's Evolving Legacy

    Course Dates:
December 7-9, 2000 Honolulu, Hawaii at the Bishop Museum
 
    Course Description:
The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act  (NAGPRA) was enacted in 1990 to address the rights of lineal descendants,  Indian tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations to certain Native American  cultural items. Since that time, museums and federal agencies have provided  Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations with summaries of their Native American collections and inventories of human remains and associated funerary objects in their control. Federal agencies have also provided information to Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations regarding inadvertent discoveries and planned excavations on federal and tribal land.
 
 This course is designed to help those affected by the law to comply with its ongoing obligations in a timely and meaningful manner. The legislative history and regulations are reviewed as a basis for effective decision making. Special attention is given to the consultation  requirements imposed by the statute and to review committee recommendations and case law that elaborate on the regulatory definitions and procedures. Grants available through the National Park Service are also discussed. The course consists of lectures, video case studies and class exercises.
 
    Instructors:

The Honorable Sherry Hutt is a judge with the Maricopa County Superior Court in Phoenix, Arizona.  As an assistant U.S.  Attorney, she handled cases dealing with the Archaeological Resources  Protection Act (ARPA). She co-authored Archeological Resource
Protection (1992). Hutt received the Conservation Service Award form the Department of Interior in 1994.

C. Timothy McKeown, Ph.D., is with the Archeology & Ethnography Program of the National Park Service where he is team leader for implementation of NAGPRA.
