Updated Presidential Directive
San José State University’s Protocol for Curation, Inventory, and Repatriation of
Native American Remains Subject to the Native American and Graves Repatriation Act
(NAGPRA) and CalNAGPRA (California NAGPRA)
Presidential Directive (PD-2023-01)
Respecting the dignity of our Native American and Indigenous communities – past, present and future – is of the utmost importance for the CSU system in general, and San José State in particular. Our university maintains an extensive collection of Native American artifacts and human remains that is protected by state and federal laws. While a state auditor earlier this year commended 菠菜网lol正规平台 for its compliance with these laws, there is still a need to ensure the continued protection of these items and ancestors until we reach our goal of complete repatriation.
