1/ For months, we’ve been investigating @UCBerkeley’s troubled history with tribes, its failures over the decades with repatriation & Indigenous people’s repeated complaints about a single professor.

Our latest, in partnership with @NBCNews: propublica.org/article/berkel… 2/ Today, @UCBerkeley, one of the nation’s top public universities, estimates its anthropology museum holds the human remains of more than 9,000 Native Americans.

Today, @propublica is launching The Repatriation Project.

Our first pieces look at the U.S. institutions/agencies that hold hundreds–in some cases thousands–of ancestral remains & belongings from Indigenous gravesites propublica.org/article/repatr… The history behind how hundreds of institutions took from ancestral burial sites is a deeply sensitive and painful one for many Native people. Especially those who have worked to reclaim ancestors under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).
