    Abstract: The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation 
Act of 1990 (25 U.S.C. 3001-3013) requires all public and private 
museums receiving Federal funds (other than the Smithsonian 
Institution) to compile summaries, inventories, and notices regarding 
Native American cultural items in their possession or control. This 
information must be provided to lineal descendants, likely interested 
Indian tribes, Native Hawaiian organizations, and the NPS National 
NAGPRA Program. Under NAGPRA and its implementing regulations, we are 
mandated to collect any information that is pertinent in determining 
the cultural affiliation and geographical origin of Native American 
human remains and cultural items. This include descriptions, 
acquisition data, and records of consultation. Once the identity and 
cultural affiliation of human remains and cultural items are 
determined, the museum must send written notice of determination to the 
affected Indian tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations and the NAGPRA 
Program for publication in the Federal Register.

Repatriation Regulations, 43 CFR 10.
