The Dept. of the Interior has the 14th largest collection of unrepatriated Native American remains in the U.S. The institution reported still having the remains of at least 1,900 Native Americans that it has not made available for return to tribes.

The institution has made available for return 88% of the more than 15,800 Native American remains that it reported to the federal government.

Location of institution

Note: The Dept. of the Interior reported remains of at least 438 Native Americans with no location information. 92% of these remains were made available for return to tribes.

Under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, when an institution establishes a connection between tribes and remains, it must publish a list of the tribes eligible to make a repatriation claim. The remains are then made available for return to the tribe(s). Once a tribal claim is made, physical transfer may occur. Many remains have been physically returned to tribes, but data on this is spotty because the law does not require institutions to report when these transfers occur.

Timeline of Native American remains made available for return to tribes by the Dept. of the Interior

Tribal and institutional capacity, funding, staffing, regulatory changes, audits, Review Committee decisions and litigation may influence timelines. Under NAGPRA, institutions make Native American remains available for return and determine whether they are culturally affiliated using evidence such as tribal traditional knowledge and biological and archaeological links. From 2010 to 2024, remains could also be returned through disposition based on geographic affiliation. Institutions can also determine that remains are culturally unidentifiable. Tribes may request the transfer of these remains, or they may be reinterred by the institution.

How the Dept. of the Interior compares to other institutions

The amount of Native American remains still held by institutions ranges widely.

The Dept. of the Interior made Native American remains available for return to 335 tribes.

Institutions often make remains available for return to multiple tribes, so the amount of remains listed below may be counted for more than one tribe.

The Dept. of the Interior reported making 97% of more than 180,600 associated funerary objects available for return to tribes.

The funerary objects were taken along with Native American remains reported by the institution.

174,659 associated funerary objects made available for return to tribes

at least 5,959 associated funerary objects not made available for return

The Dept. of the Interior’s response:

The program complies with each of its legal obligations under existing regulations, subject to available funding. Under the current regulations, the bureaus are not required to consult or repatriate "culturally unidentifiable human remains" unless requested by a Tribe or Native Hawaiian Organization. The Biden-Harris administration prioritizes repatriation, and the Department hopes that its proposed regulatory revisions to NAGPRA will help to address the existing backlog.
