NAGPRA Community of Practice
The NAGPRA Community of Practice group is based out of the University of Denver Museum of Anthropology (DUMA), and is an excellent resource for anyone who is actively involved in or interested in the NAGPRA process.
Vision: A community that is supported, connected, and empowered to facilitate repatriation.
Mission: The NAGPRA Community of Practice provides space to share experiences, concerns, and successes to decrease misunderstanding and hesitancy and to foster relationships and healing.
Wisconsin NAGPRA COP
Although not directly associated with the NAGPRA Community of Practice (above), the Wisconsin NAGPRA COP group was founded as an unofficial "regional subgroup" of this larger working group, serving the same vision and mission, but focusing more closely on the state of Wisconsin.
Vision: A community, located in or with an interest in Wisconsin, that is supported, connected, and empowered to facilitate repatriation.
Mission: The Wisconsin NAGPRA Community of Practice provides space to share experiences, concerns, and successes to decrease misunderstanding and hesitancy and to foster relationships and healing in the state of Wisconsin.
Members of the Wisconsin NAGPRA COP group also actively collaborate to provide useful resources and shared data for the purpose of facilitating repatriation in this state.
If you are interested in joining this group, please Contact the Campus NAGPRA Coordinator (see "Contact Us" in the menu at the top of the page). Requests to join are vetted to ensure all members will abide by the group's vision and mission.
