Deep dive into Protection on Federal or Tribal lands

This webinar explores Subpart B of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), which governs the protection of Native American human remains and cultural items discovered on Federal or Tribal lands. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the legal and procedural responsibilities outlined in the revised regulations, effective January 2024.

Key topics include:

• Inadvertent discoveries and planned excavations: What to do when remains or items are found
• Plan of Action requirements: When they apply and how to develop them
• Roles and responsibilities of Federal agencies, Indian Tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations
• Consultation protocols to ensure respectful, lawful, and culturally informed decision-making
• Disposition procedures under Section 10.7, including notification, certification, and timelines

Through real-world examples and expert insights, this session will equip participants with the tools to navigate this sensitive process with respect, transparency, and full compliance.
