To guide its efforts in complying with the federal Native American Graves Protection & Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), UGA has created a new NAGPRA Committee that will conduct a campuswide census this year to locate and identify NAGPRA-related holdings. In this webinar, NAGPRA Committee members will explain the scope of the law, its relation to university material holdings and research activities, and the collaborative work underway with UGA’s tribal partners to ensure any NAGPRA-related materials are repatriated.
