# NPS Holds NAGPRA Review Committee Meeting

The National Park Service (NPS), under the Department of the Interior, will conduct a virtual public meeting of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) Review Committee on September 30, 2026. This meeting will focus on oversight of NAGPRA processes, including cultural affiliation reviews and consultation with Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations.

- Procurement professionals supporting federal cultural resource management should note the continued emphasis on NAGPRA compliance and tribal consultation.
- Contractors specializing in cultural affiliation studies, repatriation logistics, or tribal engagement may find emerging opportunities as agencies maintain or expand related programs.
- This meeting underscores the importance of understanding federal processes and stakeholder engagement in Native American cultural resource projects.
