Abstrakt:	Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii has called on museums and universities to expedite the repatriation of Native American remains and sacred objects that were taken from Indigenous burial sites. Schatz emphasized that institutions have a moral obligation to comply with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and return these items to the tribes. Despite the passage of NAGPRA in 1990, many museums have delayed or resisted repatriation requests. However, recent progress has been made, with some museums committing to improve their repatriation records and close exhibits or remove sensitive items from display. [Extracted from the article]
