Harvard currently holds the remains of over 7,000 Indigenous individuals
The Harvard Crimson newspaper revealed Harvard’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology is in possession of Native American human remains.
This is in violation of federal law
The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) explicitly mandates that cultural objects and human remains must be returned to their rightful tribal communities for respectful reburial.
