CalNAGPRA
CalNAGPRA, the California Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 2001, was passed with the intent to cover gaps in the federal NAGPRA specific to the State of California. In 2020, AB 275 was passed and signed to strengthen CalNAGPRA for non-federally recognized California Native American tribes and elevate the status of tribal traditional knowledge in determining cultural affiliation and identifying cultural items, among other changes to the law. CalNAGPRA runs concurrently with federal NAGPRA. You can find additional information: https://nahc.ca.gov/calnagpra/
NAGPRA
The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 (NAGPRA) (25 USC 32) and associated regulations (43 CFR 10) governs institutions supported by federal funding to be required to inventory any collections that might include “human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony” to be return to lineal descendants, culturally affiliated Indian Tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations.
