Hearing on "Finding Our Way Home: Achieving the Policy Goals of NAGPRA" / GAO -- Testimony of Kevin Gover, Director, National Museum of the American Indian. Hearing on "Finding Our Way Home: Achieving the Policy Goals of NAGPRA". 330 $aThe Smithsonian Institution holds a large number of Indian human remains and culturally significant objects as part of its museum collections. These human remains and objects have long been a concern for many Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian communities, who have been determined to provide an appropriate resting place for their ancestors. In 1989, the National Museum of the American Indian Act (NMAI Act) was enacted, in part to address these concerns. This book is a study of the Smithsonian Institution's efforts to repatriate Indian human remains, with a focus on ways to expedite the process and recommendations from the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The GAO reviewed museum records, including 171 repatriation case reports, and interviewed the Smithsonian, the Repatriation Review Committee, and tribal officials. 410 0$aAnthropology research and developments. 606 $aIndians of North America$xMaterial culture 606 $aIndians of North America$xAntiquities$xLaw and legislation 606 $aCultural property$xRepatriation$zUnited States 606 $aHuman remains (Archaeology)$xRepatriation$zUnited States 606 $aArchaeology$xMoral and ethical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aArchaeologists$zUnited States$xAttitudes 615 0$aIndians of North America$xMaterial culture. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xAntiquities$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aCultural property$xRepatriation 615 0$aHuman remains (Archaeology)$xRepatriation 615 0$aArchaeology$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aArchaeologists$xAttitudes. 676 $a305.897073 702 $aDaville$b Laurent B. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151735503321 996 $aRepatriation of Indian human remains$92877601 997 $aUNINA
