Native American Art and Culture
NAGPRA, or the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, is a federal law enacted in 1990 that addresses the rights of Native American tribes to reclaim their ancestral remains and cultural items held by federal agencies and institutions that receive federal funding. This legislation underscores the importance of sacred sites and landscapes, as it emphasizes the connection between Native American identity, cultural heritage, and the land where these items were traditionally used or buried.
