As a public health precaution due to COVID-19, all Smithsonian museums are temporarily closed. We are not announcing a reopening date at this time and will provide updates on our websites and social media.
Repatriation at the Museum is a collaborative process in which Museum staff work with tribal representatives to determine the disposition of human remains and cultural objects under the law. You may search the entire Smithsonian Institution digital collections database, and the collections of the National Museum of Natural History.
Visit the Repatriation Review Committee website to contact committee members or for other information.
