Repatriation and reburial of human remains

On 22 October 2017 the Presidio of Monterey hosted tribal nations in a repatriation and reburial ceremony of Native American remains in the local cemetery. The remains of 17 Native Americans and over 300 funerary objects discovered between 1910–1985 were laid to rest.

The repatriation and reburial of human remains is a current issue in archaeology and museum management on the holding of human remains. Between the descendant-source community and anthropologists, there are a variety of opinions on whether or not the remains should be repatriated. There are numerous case studies across the globe of human remains that have been or still need to be repatriated.
