This $100,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Park Service's Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) Grant Program will support the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture (MIAC) in New Mexico to conduct inventory, consultation, and repatriation efforts for 79 Native American ancestors and cultural items. The grant will fund the hiring of one full-time staff member and one graduate intern to catalog, inventory, consult with tribal representatives, and prepare for the repatriation of these ancestral remains and funerary objects to the appropriate tribes, which may include 19 New Mexico Pueblos as well as the Hopi, Apache, Ute, Kiowa or Diné tribes. The project aims to facilitate timely repatriation, build stronger relationships between MIAC and tribal communities, and help the museum meet its obligations under NAGPRA to return these cultural items to their rightful owners. The award period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026.
