National
NAGPRA Online Databases
National NAGPRA
maintains several online databases designed to provide access to
information on a variety of NAGPRA-related topics. All of the databases
have search capabilities that allow the user to
locate
specific information. The databases are updated regularly by National
NAGPRA staff.
- Native
American Consultation Database (NACD) is
an easy way to identify a current official contact for Indian
tribes, Alaska Native villages and corporations, and Native Hawaiian
organizations. Names and addresses of tribal leaders are entered from the current Bureau of Indian Affairs Tribal Leaders Directory. Use the state tables compiled from Indian Land Cessions 1784-1894 as additional consultation resources. Changes in contact information or corrections to the data should be sent to the NACD Database Coordinator.
- Notices
of Inventory Completion Database is a searchable library of published
Federal Register notices pertaining to Native American human remains
and associated funerary objects. A map has been added to the site to show the distribution of human remains that have been described in published notices of inventory completion.
- Notices
of Intent to Repatriate Database is a searchable library of published
Federal Register notices pertaining to Native American unassociated
funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony.
- Culturally
Unidentifiable Native American Inventories Database. This
database provides information
about Native American human remains that have been determined
to be culturally unidentifiable and has been compiled on behalf of the Review Committee pursuant to 43 CFR 10.10 (g). The database summarizes the inventory information submitted by museums and Federal agencies and is not meant to be an exact copy of their inventory data. Though an effort has been made to verify the accuracy of the data presented in this database, slight discrepancies between these and the actual museum and agency inventories may remain.
The database was updated March 13, 2009. It now includes 16,843 records describing 123,843 Native American human remains and 926,670 associated funerary objects inventoried by 692 museums and Federal agencies. Among the human remains included here are 8,046 that have been affiliated or transferred since they were first inventoried as culturally unidentifiable. Corrections, updates, and additions to this database will be made as museums and agencies continue to verify the data that have been entered, or submit revised inventories. A map has been added to show the provenience of the human remains in the database.
