In an effort to repatriate Native peoples, Oregon State University built a facility to keep their ancestral bones and cultural artifacts after more than a year of collaboration with tribal leaders.
Like other campuses around the nation, Oregon State University currently has Native American ancestors’ remains and funerary artifacts from the first people to live on U.S. soil. The 1990 federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, or NAGPRA, requires the school to return them to their respective tribes.
