DESCRIPTION:All Native American people and social justice allies are\nurged to attend 
 and bring signs to a vocal and peaceful demonstration\ndesigned to protect 
 Native ancestral remains and sacred objects\ncurrently housed at the 
 University of California, Berkeley (UCB). UCB\nis attempting to terminate 
 the critically important Tribal\nconsultation and Native American Graves 
 Protection and Repatriation\nAct (NAGPRA) program at the university. This 
 tribally-supported NAGPRA\nprogram was developed in accordance with federal 
 and state laws and is\na semi-autonomous unit within the Hearst Museum. 
 NAGPRA is a federal\nlaw that mandates federally funded museums to conduct 
 an inventory of\nand identify Native human remains and cultural items in 
 their\ncollections. In addition the museum is charged to consult 
 with\nculturally affiliated Indian tribes, Alaska Natives, and 
 Native\nHawaiians regarding repatriation. The NAGPRA program at UCB 
 is\nresponsible for insuring the museum complies with the Act 
 and\nrepatriate items when appropriate.\n\nThe Native NAGPRA Coalition has 
 been calling for a meeting with UCB\nChancellor Birgeneau for months to 
 resolve the problem. Staff of\nGovernor Schwarzenegger's Office have also 
 been attempting to assist\nin scheduling the meeting. Yet, the highest 
 ranking UCB official\nrefuses to meet.\n
