In 1988, some 43,000 Native American skeletons were on display in 163 museums in the United States! Many Native Americans were upset by the fact that so many of their ancestors’ remains had been excavated. This brought about the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990, under which Native American graves on federal and tribal lands are protected. The act also better defines the ownership of remains that are unearthed and requires institutions to catalogue all human remains in their collections.
