Is your natural history institution working through Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) compliance or unsure where to start with compiling a NAGPRA Summary and Consultation Invitation? Join us for a practical webinar designed specifically for natural history collections.
Creating a NAGPRA Summary doesn’t require a brand-new inventory of your collection and can be compiled using the information you already have. In this session, we will demystify the process, discuss key decision points, and introduce a new worksheet to help your institution determine where you stand and how to move forward.
The webinar will cover:
- Why develop a NAGPRA Summary: Learn how a Summary and Consultation Invitation can fulfill legal requirements, foster meaningful tribal relationships, and build public trust.
- Summary Worksheet for Natural History Collections: Get a guided walkthrough of our new tool designed to assess where your institution is in the process and chart your next steps.
- Practical Scenarios: Explore instructional examples demonstrating how to put the worksheet into practice.
