American Indian rights for cultural property

C. Nissley Environmental Consultants www.cnec_inc.com

Class in American Indian rights to their cultural property and the legal claims process is being offered in San Francisco September 24 - 25. Learn about the background that resulted in the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act being passed by Congress in 1991. Follow the regulatory pathway as to how this law and its regulations are connected to the Archaeological Resources Protection Act and what the federal agencies SHOULD be doing. As a tribal member, you will learn how to insert the tribe into the process and have a voice.

The class will be held in the historic Presidio - a beautiful former military installation that has some of the most unique flora and fauna in the Bay area as it is one of the last remaining areas of open space on the ocean.
