"The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) was enacted on November 16, 1990, to address the rights of lineal descendants, Indian tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations to Native American cultural items, including human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony. In Utah, the Act has been applied as written but with the involvement of the Native Tribes some considerations have been made for the continuing study of the burial objects, including human remains, before they are reburied. In interviews with Native Americans and Archeologists, the complex issue of who owns the past is explored."
