Book Review

Repatriation Reader: Who Owns American Indian Remains? Edited by Devon A. Mihesuah. (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2000. viii + 335 pp. Appendix, notes, index. $20.00, paper; £13.50, paper.)

Most of the articles in this collection first appeared in a special issue of the American Indian Quarterly focusing on repatriation. Historians, Native activists, archaeologists, and other scholars contributed essays falling into four distinct categories: the nineteenth-century history of digging and collecting human remains in the United States; the divergent opinions for and against the scientific study of Native American remains; how law and policy have dealt with the issue; and case studies of repatriation in action among the Zuni, Kwakiutl, and Hopi. Seemingly, the only people with a stake in this issue who are not given a voice in this collection are the looters of graves and artifacts mentioned in several articles. Thus, Devon A. Mihesuah, as editor, has succeeded in assembling a useful overview of the repatriation issue that captures the diversity of views, the emotional intensity that has characterized the debate, and the legal and philosophical conundrums facing those who have struggled to reform the law or who now work to implement the 1990 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). . . .
