The National Park Service has announced the FY2025 NAGPRA Repatriation Grants, aimed to assist museums, Indian Tribes, and Native Hawaiian Organizations with expenses related to the repatriation of Native American human remains and cultural items, as authorized by the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The total funding available is approximately $3.4 million, with expected awards ranging from $1,000 to $25,000. The application process is open until May 8, 2026, and eligible applicants include state and local governments, educational institutions, nonprofits, and federally recognized tribes. Grants may cover various project activities, including travel, transportation, decontamination, and staff time specifically for repatriation efforts. A key aspect of applying involves demonstrating collaboration through partnerships, providing detailed project narratives, and ensuring compliance with all NAGPRA requirements. The review process will assess applications based on criteria including project details, partnerships, implementation plans, and evaluation measures. The aim is to facilitate the physical transfer of culturally significant items while upholding legal and cultural responsibilities.
