Summary:
"The video presentation depicts southwestern Native American concerns regarding the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 (NAGPRA)." Representatives from the Acoma, Hopi, Zuni, Navajo, Taos, etc. southwestern tribes speak of NAGPRA and their tribes' reactions, problems, concerns regarding the legislation. They also stress that the beliefs and reactions of one tribe are not necessarily the same as another tribe. Religious and cultural aspects of returning bodies and artifacts to tribal lands could cause many problems with tribal traditions and beliefs.
