The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation
Act (NAGPRA) legislation has brought to light the
long-buring question of ownership of Native American human
remains and cultural items. The impact of the law reaches
federal land managers, tribal and museum officials, as well
as any agency that holds a collection and receives federal
funds. The time limits imposed for compliance with summary
lists and inventories of collections have created an
immediate need for a working knowledge of the law. There
are numerous issues and questions begin raised as to how to
apply the law, what items are covered and the process of
compliance.
This course is designed to help those effected by the
law to comply in a timely and meaningful manner. The course
is also focused on an understanding and recognition of
potential problem areas in order to allow for prospective
planning and avoidance of court intervention. The
instructors will discuss practical methods of compiling
summaries and inventories, as well as consultation methods
for tribes and institutions. They will also discuss the
regulations and the decisions of the Review Committee and
look at the future ramification of decisions and any court
actions.
The course will consist of lectures, case studies, and
participant involvement in discussions.
Instructors: The Honorable Sherry Hutt is a judge with the
Maricopa Co. Superior Court in Phoenix, AZ. As an Assistant
US District Attorney, she handled cases dealing with the
Archeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA). She teaches
courses on ARPA for the National Park Service, and
co-authored _Archeological Resource Protections_ (1992).
Timothy McKeown is with the Archeological Assistance
Division of the National Park Service, where he serves as
program leader for national implementation of NAGPRA. Dr.

Navajo Nation and Jicarilla Apache Tribe. He has also
