Utah’s Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) is a State law passed in 1992 that provides a process for the repatriation, or return of Native American human remains and funerary objects, to lineal descendants, culturally affiliated tribes, or tribes that aboriginally occupied the land where the remains were found. Utah’s NAGPRA allows for the respectful care and repatriation of human remains and funerary objects found on State and Private lands. NAGPRA includes provisions for unclaimed Native American remains, intentional and inadvertent discovery of Native American remains, and penalties for noncompliance and illegal trafficking. In addition, Utah’s NAGPRA establishes the Native American Remains Review Committee (NARRC) to monitor the NAGPRA process and facilitate the resolution of disputes that may arise concerning repatriation under NAGPRA. Repatriation is a top priority of the Division of Indian Affairs and quarterly meetings of the NARRC are held to ensure a fair and respectful balance.
