“Returning to the People: How the MPM works with Indigenous groups to bring their history and ancestors home” by Dawn Scher Thomae, MPM’s Curator of Anthropology Collections 

The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), passed in 1990, has forever changed the way museums collect, interpret, and care for Native American items. This free, virtual lecture will provide a brief overview of the law, how MPM works with the US government and Native groups, and the ways that NAGPRA has impacted MPM’s collections, exhibits, and programs.
