Abstract
A detailed case study of the repatriation efforts of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation adds to the knowledge of tribal cultural protection programs in the Pacific Northwest. This research determined that the Confederated Tribes have used the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act to their advantage by contacting, consulting, providing tribal information, and summarily repatriating human remains and grave goods. Furthermore, gaining a thorough knowledge of national and local archaeological laws and asserting their tribal sovereignty in cultural resource protection matters has enabled the Confederated Tribes to attain national recognition.
