PLAINTIFFS' REPLY MEMORANDUM

VI. DEFENDANTS VIOLATED NHPA .

The federal defendants submit their Fourth Quarterly Status Report in the above-styled matter. This Status Report is being submitted in compliance with the Court's Order of June 27, 1997.

IX. A SECOND REMAND TO DEFENDANTS WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE.

VII. DEFENDANTS' CURATION ARGUMENTS ARE NOT CREDIBLE.

III. DEFENDANTS' REPATRIATION TO A COALITION VIOLATES THE STATUTE.

IV. DEFENDANTS' USE OF INFORMAL ADJUDICATION WAS IMPROPER AND CONTRARY TO THE COURT'S ORDER.

V. DEFENDANTS' FIRST AMENDMENT ARGUMENTS MISSTATE THE LAW AND FACTS.

Mr. Chairman, the American Association of Physical Anthropologists (AAPA) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the amendments Rep. Hastings has introduced to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).

Mr. Chairman, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation of Oregon strongly objects to H.R. 2893, to amend the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). This bill, if enacted, would make a mockery of NAGPRA. Instead of assuring the return of our ancestors and cultural items to us, H.R. 2893 would twist NAGPRA into a law that virtually guarantees that items of Native American heritage be handed over to scientists, perhaps in perpetuity, for whatever study they may choose. This result directly conflicts with Congress' intent in enacting NAGPRA just 8 years ago.

HOUSE RESOURCES COMMITTEE

I. Introduction

Mr. Chairman,

Mr. Chairman, the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) and the Society for Historical Archaeology (SHA) are grateful for the opportunity to comment on H.R. 2893, amendments to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) introduced by Representative Hastings.

Mr. Chairman, members of the committee, I want to thank your for the opportunity to speak to you on behalf of an ammendment to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.
