Museums Close Native American Exhibits Amid Federal Regulations

New York's American Museum of Natural History is closing two halls featuring Native American artifacts in compliance with updated federal regulations requiring permission from tribes to display their objects. The move follows the recent revisions to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (Nagpra), giving more authority to tribes and mandating museums to obtain consent for showcasing or researching human remains or cultural items. The closures signal a shift towards increased tribal inclusion in repatriation processes and the need for collaboration between tribes and institutions.
