National NAGPRA

There is a growing awareness of the rights of Native American communities to regain control of their cultural heritage, and of the role that the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act plays in that process. The National NAGPRA program works with lineal descendants, Indian tribes, Native Hawaiian organizations, museums, and Federal agencies to support NAGPRA implementation nation-wide. (Repatriation)

Michigan Anishinaabek Cultural Protection and Repatriation Alliance (MACPRA)

We, the nations represented by the Michigan Anishinaabek Cultural Protection and Repatriation Alliance (MACPRA) Commitee, thankful to the Creator for our sovereign freedom, in order to re-bury ancestors that have been removed from their resting places and are known to us, to bring home the rest all the remaining ancestors who have been taken out of their aboriginal homelands and lands known today within the state of Michigan, to defend and protect all indigenous graves; to protect and defend all traditional cultural properties, and to unify ourselves in the pursuit of these goals.
