The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) is a U.S. federal law that mandates the transfer of human remains and associated funerary objects, unassociated funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony to lineal descendants, Indian Tribes, or Native Hawaiian organizations who have requested them and who have the legal right to them. Marshall University is committed to fully complying with legal requirements of NAGPRA and repatriating Native American Ancestors and their belongings with appropriate deference to our Native Nation Partners.
