Federal Register Publications

NAGPRA requires institutions to identify all holdings that may meet NAGPRA eligibility criteria, inventory those holdings,  research the context surrounding their presence at the institution, and consult with Federally Recognized Native American Tribes, Native Hawaiian Organizations, and Lineal Descendants regarding their repatriation. Institutions maintain transparency throughout this process by submitting formal progress notifications to the National NAGPRA Program at defined stages for publication in the Federal Register. All published notices concerning holdings under UGA’s legal control are included below.
