Overview of UC's NAGPRA Implementation and Oversight Committees
Overview
CalNAGPRA (Health & Safety Code §§ 8016(a) & (b)) requires that UC establish a Systemwide NAGPRA Implementation and Oversight Committee ("Systemwide Committee"), as well as a Campus NAGPRA Implementation Committee ("Campus Committee") at each campus which holds potentially NAGPRA-eligible Human Remains or Cultural Items.
Members of these Committees ensure legal and ethical compliance and cultural respect in UC’s repatriation practices. For a full list of responsibilities, please see Sections V.A.1.b and V.A.2.c of the UC Native American Cultural Affiliation and Repatriation Policy (PDF).
