H-8120-1 - GUIDELINES FOR CONDUCTING TRIBAL CONSULTATION – (Public)
This policy does not apply to NAGPRA materials that have not been removed from the
immediate vicinity of their original location following an inadvertent discovery. It also
does not apply to portions of burials that were mistakenly removed in the interests of State
health and safety laws (e.g., a hiker takes a skull found eroded from a stream bank to the
coroner), or that were taken illegally and have been recovered through law enforcement
investigations. In these cases, if the original burial location is known and the location is
stable and not currently subject to conflicting uses, and if the affiliated tribe has been
consulted and has entered into written agreement, the missing portion of the burial may be
reunited with the in situ remainder. The BLM must make it clear to all parties that such
restoration of a missing portion of an in situ burial does not affect the Federal
Government's ownership or control of the restored burial, nor does it diminish the Bureau's
ability to protect the restored burial under Federal law.
