A New York museum that tribal representatives call one of the worst offenders of federal repatriation law has announced new policies for removing human remains from display cases and said it plans to double down on repatriation efforts for the more than 12,000 individuals it holds in its facility. On Oct. 12, Sean Decantur, the new president of the American Museum of Natural History, announced the policy changes to staff in an open letter.
