Excavated remains to be returned to Qawalangin Tribe

Human remains excavated from Unalaska and Amaknak Islands in the 1950s and 60s will soon be returned to the Qawalangin tribe. Robert King coordinates the repatriation of bones under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. The 1990 law says bones and funerary items found on federal lands need to be offered back to their original families or tribes.
