This webinar will be recorded.
Please join us for an information session about repatriation and how it relates to natural history collections held at museums, herbaria, and other institutions. We will be joined by a wide array of speakers who will share their perspectives on and experiences with repatriation, including cases for voluntary return. The program will delve into a zoological and a botanical case study of ethical return.
A previous webinar we organized covered repatriation under Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) in the context of natural history collections. The December webinar will focus on repatriation issues outside NAGPRA’s scope.
Intended audience:
- Collections and curatorial staff across natural history disciplines (e.g., zoology, botany, geology, paleontology)
- Tribal, Native Hawaiian, and institutional representatives engaged in repatriation and dispersed cultural legacies
- Researchers, students, and everyone else working with or interested in issues of repatriation and dispersed cultural legacies
