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.
The Native American Repatriation Review Committee was established in 1990 by Congress to monitor and review the repatriation process at the Smithsonian, and to ensure the fair and objective consideration of all relevant evidence. Upon the request of any affected party the Committee will review findings of cultural affiliation and facilitate the resolution of any dispute concerning the repatriation of remains and objects.
