| | Minnesota museums adapt to new federal rules regarding Native objects and remains |
On Jan. 12 updated NAGPRA regulations went into effect that streamlined and strengthened the process for the repatriation and display of Native ancestral human remains and objects. NAGPRA-qualifying objects include those of funerary, sacred or cultural patrimony significance, as defined by the tribes.
