My take away: I was worried this #NAGPRA talk might presage bad news in the current climate, but that does not seem, for the moment, to be the case, or at least it wasn't mentioned.

Aside from that, it is wonderful. Examples of success and failure from across the country and the spectrum of museum types. Authors identify what is and was wrong with prior #NAGPRA work, and how they collaborated and advocated for better practice with their Tribal Nation partners. 2/2
Working thru Advances in Archaeological Practice #NAGPRA thematic issue. It's great, varied practical advice. I have one issue: repeated use of possessive: "our Tribal Nations". Cringe every time.
Tribal Nations can be partners, colleagues, collaborators, but not possessions. #LanguageMatters 1/2

A thirty-year-old law promised to return Native people. The process was stalled by loopholes and institutional delay. A fundamental shift is forcing a long-overdue conversation about possession, return and bureaucratic barriers to justice.
