UCR NAGPRA Summaries
UC Riverside’s CalNAGPRA Summaries were initially submitted to potentially affiliated tribes with invitations to consult and to the California Native American Heritage Commission in 2022.
Summaries are currently being systematically re-evaluated in consultation with tribes to re-consider cultural affiliation determinations and ensure accuracy and completeness. UC Riverside is actively engaged with tribes to better understand traditional lines of evidence as well as consider newly available scientific information. In addition, UC Riverside is systematically reviewing collections and consulting to ensure all eligible materials, human remains and funerary objects, are included on revised Inventories. Through this review process, UC Riverside has identified additional human remains and begun the process of adding them to revised Inventories or creating new ones as appropriate.
