The Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska and Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska will receive money for the repatriation of remains and significant objects.
The Central Council of Tlingit and Haida President Richard Chalyee Éesh Peterson said the tribe has been receiving NAGPRA grants since the 1990s to support its continued repatriation work.
Peterson said he’s seen items return to his own clan and knows firsthand the power of the work. “I’ve been left in tears and just with goosebumps — it’s so amazing and so meaningful. It’s exciting to be a part of that. It’s exciting to see our ancestors return.”There are also federal funds for consultations, where tribes meet with museums to identify cultural objects.
Desiree Duncan has worked with Tlingit and Haida since it began receiving NAGPRA grants. She said she used to go on museum consultations with the late Elder Cyril George and remembers hearing him talk about repatriation work in the Lingít language: “Yeedát sá yei át yatee, oo awduudlixhaaji kháa, heinaxh kháa géidéi yaxh ghaagoot. Life should be this way, that someone you’ve given up hope of ever seeing again suddenly comes walking around the corner.
