University California Berkeley Leads in Grave Robbing of Native Americans
The University of California Berkeley has the largest number of unreturned human remains of Native Americans, in violation of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.
Further, recent notices in the Federal Register reveal that grave robbing resulted in large numbers of Arikara, Mandan, and Hidatsa, Miwok, Pueblo, Shawnee, Arapaho, Siletz, and others have been harbored for decades by museums across the United States.

UC Berkeley has Native remains from every county in Arizona and Utah where the Navajo Nation is located. The university has made only 1 percent available for return, in violation of the NAGPRA law. The data is revealed in a new database at ProPublica.
Today, Censored News reviews 33 NAGPRA notices in the U.S. Federal Register which reveal a pattern of grave robbing, both by individuals and by archaeologists in the name of science, resulting in museums harboring thousands of Native American ancestors' remains.
