DOI Tribal Leaders consultation on Proposed Rule to NAGPRA
2022-12-15 14:00 - 16:00 | United States
Dear Tribal Leader Letter
The Department of the Interior (Department) proposes to revise its Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) regulations at 43 CFR part 10 and invites Tribal Leaders to consult on the proposed rule.
The proposed regulations would clarify and improve upon the systematic process for the disposition and repatriation of Native American human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony. In August 2021, the Department hosted consultation sessions with Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations on a draft proposal and incorporated that input to the maximum extent possible. A summary of the over 700 comments received and the Department’s response to each comment is attached for your review. The proposed rule published in the Federal Register on October, 18, 2022 and is available here.
December 15, 2022, from 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm Eastern
December 19, 2022, from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm Eastern
