This collection consists of a DVD recording and press clippings associated with the repatriation efforts and the Native American Graves & Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) Review Committee hearing held in Washington, DC from 17-19 November 2010 regarding the Tlingit T’akdeeintaan Clan’s repatriation request against the University of Pennsylvania Museum.

From the 17-19 November 2010 hearings held in Washington DC on this issue, and after review of evidence presented, based on the laws outlined in the Native American Graves & Repatriation Act of 1991, the NAGPRA Review Committee determined that the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology did not have legal right of possession to the disputed 40 cultural objects then at the museum facility.
