Harvard University's Peabody Museum and Warren Anatomical Museum recently completed the legal process for repatriating the remains of 313 Native people from eastern Massachusetts to Wampanoag communities in Mashpee and Aquinnah:

After the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation became federal law in 1990, many museums took the first steps to comply — including reporting the number of human remains in their collections and which state and county they came from. Peters said the next step is for the Wampanoag tribal communities to find final resting places to rebury the remains of those who died.
Some other museums with the remains of people from central and western Massachusetts have either begun or plan to begin the process of repatriation. "My biggest concern with the whole process is ensuring that everything is done correctly," said Shelley Cathcart, the Worcester Historical Museum's curator.
