National Park Service Announces FY 2006 NAGPRA
Consultation/Documentation Grant Awards
WASHINGTON,
D.C.— The National Park Service (NPS)
announces the awarding of $1,774,647 to assist museums, Indian Tribes,
Alaska Native villages and corporations, and Native Hawaiian
organizations with implementation of the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).
Projects to be undertaken by the grant recipients include
consultations to identify culturally affiliated items, training for
tribal staff on the fundamentals of NAGPRA, the creation of databases to
track NAGPRA items and activities, and other projects that support the
NAGPRA goals of documentation and consultation in preparation for the
repatriation process.
Enacted in 1990, NAGPRA requires museums and federal agencies to
inventory and identify Native American human remains and cultural items
in their collections, and to consult with culturally affiliated Indian
tribes, Alaska Native villages and corporations, and Native Hawaiian
organizations regarding repatriation. Section 10 of the Act authorizes
the Secretary of the Interior to award grants to assist in implementing
provisions of the Act. The NPS previously awarded $84,368 in fiscal year
2006 to support the repatriation of Native American cultural items to
culturally affiliated Indian tribes. More information on NAGPRA is
available at www.cr.nps.gov/nagpra.
In FY 2006, the NPS received 57 NAGPRA consultation/documentation
grant applications from 40 Indian tribes, 4 Alaska Native villages and
corporations, 1 Native Hawaiian organization, and 12 museums, for a
total request of approximately $3.7 million. Proposals were reviewed by
an expert panel of Native Americans and museum professionals from a
variety of Federal agencies.
Awards are being made to the 28 grantees listed below.
