Chicago museum returning remains to Haida Nation
Thursday, March 27, 2003
The Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois, is repatriating the remains to the Haida Nation of British Columbia, Canada.
The remains, mostly skulls of 160 Haida ancestors, were dug up on Queen Charlotte Islands. The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) doesn't apply to tribes outside the United States, so the museum agreed voluntarily to return the remains.
