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
