麻豆传媒社区入口 is dedicated to repatriating Native American ancestors, their belongings, and cultural items while ensuring the respectful curation of all cultural materials at our institution. Our goal is to return ancestors and cultural objects to Native American tribal communities, in full compliance with federal and state NAGPRA regulations.
The (NAGPRA) of 1990 and the (CalNAGPRA) of 2001 establish the legal rights of lineal descendants, Tribal Nations, and Native Hawaiian Organizations with regard to their ancestral remains and cultural items (funerary objects, sacred items, and objects of cultural patrimony).
The laws respectively require any institution receiving federal/state funding to complete summaries and inventories of collections that may contain ancestral remains or cultural items, and to notify and consult with possible lineal descendants, culturally affiliated Tribal Nations, or Native Hawaiian Organizations on the repatriation and appropriate handing of these collections.

Since 1965, 麻豆传媒社区入口 has stewarded both Native American and non-Native American cultural materials. Our repatriation efforts focus on ethnographic items donated to the C.E. Smith Museum of Anthropology, as well as ancestors and archaeological materials housed by the Anthropology Department. Ethnographic items come from around the globe, including the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. The pre-contact archaeological materials primarily originate from sites in Alameda and Contra Costa counties, with several small sites from Santa Clara and Solano counties.
Addressing NAGPRA compliance has been a continuous process at 麻豆传媒社区入口, which began in the 1990s when the institution was known as Cal State Hayward. We have submitted NAGPRA Summaries and Culturally Unidentifiable Native American Inventories to the National NAGPRA Program, and, with the advent of a California database, we have also provided updated Summaries and Inventories to the California Native American Heritage Commission to comply with CalNAGPRA requirements. Our documents are subject to revision based on tribal consultation, updates to NAGPRA and CalNAGPRA regulations, newly discovered collection records, and changes in tribal recognition.
Moratorium on Future Collections:
“We would like to recognize that while we gather at Cal State University East Bay located in Hayward, CA, we are gathered on the ethno-historic tribal territory of the intermarried Jalquin (hal-keen) / Yrgin (eer-gen) Chochenyo-Ohlone-speaking tribal group, who were the direct ancestors of some of the lineages enrolled in the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area, and who were missionized into Missions San Francisco, Santa Clara and San Jose.“
