The U.S. National Park Service awarded a $100,000 Project Grant under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) program to San Francisco State University (SFSU) to support the respectful repatriation of Native American ancestral remains and culturally affiliated items to tribes in Northern California. The SFSU NAGPRA program will use the grant funding to conduct meaningful consultations with tribes in Mendocino, Sonoma, Humboldt, Shasta, and Lake counties, and to facilitate the physical rehousing and transportation of culturally affiliated items and ancestors back to their rightful tribal caretakers. Key activities include providing travel, food, and lodging support for tribal representatives to visit the SFSU campus, collaborating with the SFSU American Indian Studies Department for student worker support, and ensuring culturally appropriate handling and storage of the NAGPRA collections prior to repatriation. The grant period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, with the goal of fully returning 113 archaeological collections to their affiliated tribes.
