The objective of this agreement is to promote the purposes of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) by NPS and the recipient undertaking activities to share knowledge, skills, and resources in furthering the activities of repatriation programs. Key aspects of the project include: • Developing a network of repatriation practitioners • Supporting implementation of the NAGPRA • Increasing public awareness, knowledge, and support for repatriation • Expanding NPS's reach and engaging with the public through various means • Promoting a greater understanding between museums, Indian Tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations.
