Webinar: NAGPRA's Application to State and Local Governments

Under NAGPRA, any institution that “receives Federal funds” and has “possession” or “control” of “cultural items” must comply with the requirements of this law. State and local government institutions might not be aware that when State or local law gives them the authority to take discretionary actions with respect to NAGPRA cultural items, they have an interest in the cultural items sufficient to permit them to lawfully treat the human remains as part of a holding or collection for purposes of NAGPRA and its implementing regulations.
