San José State University’s Protocol for Curation, Inventory, and Repatriation of
Native American Remains Subject to the Native American and Graves Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA) and CalNAGPRA (California NAGPRA) (PD-2023-01)
Tribal consultation informs all stages of our work; from revising and implementing
campus-wide policy, to inventory and repatriation. Our protocols for handling and
repatriation of cultural remains and ancestors were developed in these consultations.
Our goal is the full repatriation of ancestors and cultural items to Tribes, in accordance
with consultations. These policies are meant to make this process efficient and transparent
to our Tribal partners.
Emergency Plan
Emergency plans for the care and protection of the human remains and cultural items
in our care (forthcoming).
