Abstrakt:	American museums and universities have repatriated a record number of ancestral remains and sacred objects to tribal nations this year, with an estimated 18,800 Native American ancestors being returned. This increase in repatriation follows a ProPublica investigation that exposed institutions' failure to comply with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and their exploitation of loopholes to keep remains. The investigation also revealed that some institutions, including Harvard University, conducted destructive scientific studies on remains without informed consent. The attention brought by ProPublica's reporting has led to widespread acknowledgment of past failures and promises of regulatory changes to improve the repatriation process.
