University of Pennsylvania Museum - archaeological human remains and NAGPRA repatriations

The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (the Penn Museum) has held human skeletal remains within its archaeological collections. The museum has documented inventories of such remains and has engaged in repatriation and consultation under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) with descendant communities. Public records and museum reports note transfers and repatriations of human remains from its collections in compliance with NAGPRA procedures.
