IU works with Native American tribes on new measures to strengthen partnership
Indiana University recently announced new measures developed in collaboration with federally recognized tribal nations to strengthen relations with tribes and ensure compliance with the university’s legal and ethical obligations.
Under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, institutions receiving federal funding are required to treat human remains with “dignity and respect”; recognize that human remains and other cultural items removed from federal or tribal lands belong to lineal descendants, Native American tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations; and partner with those parties in determining the disposition of those remains and cultural objects.
