BCMA Podcast: NAGPRA Relationships and Responsibility
Join our host Lorenda and SGaan Kwahagang James McGuire, Guest Scientist and Indigenous Fellow in Conservation at the American Museum of Natural History, and Jessica Strayer, NAGPRA/CalNAGPRA Administrative Manager at the Fowler Museum - UCLA, for this continued conversation on NAGPRA. This follow-up episode deepens the discussion by highlighting the voices of those directly engaged in repatriation efforts and the importance of centering Indigenous perspectives, focusing on lived experience, ongoing challenges, and the work still to be done.This NAGPRA series underscores how repatriation is not a one-time event but a continuous responsibility and accountability. Museums are encouraged to critically examine their roles in truth-telling, relationship-building, and consent-based curation.
