New rules affect Indigenous collections in museums
Credit: An exhibit in the American Museum of Natural History sits closed off from public display in February 2024, after new rules governing the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act went into effect on Jan. 12, 2024. The new rules ensure tribes can decide which items may be shown to the public. Institutions across the country closed off exhibits as they reached out to tribes for guidance.
