It's stories of people coming together during the government shutdown that help keep my chin up! Reach out to your state's SHPO to see if there are similar programs where you are. Report looting and vandalism at SaveHistory.org or call 1-833-ENDLOOT.

There's a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to what laws protect what on whose land.

Federal, State, or Tribal Law?

Let's protect these places for future generations by leaving artifacts in place no matter what.

Beachcombers beware: Taking arrowheads could land you in legal trouble
Even casual beachcombing can break state law if artifacts are involved.

Imagine living in a 6x8-ft shack to defend your family cemetery with just a shotgun and sheer will.

“I will protect my mother’s grave every night, and I want to warn everyone to keep away from the Huron Cemetery.”

NAGPRA is often seen as the act of museums giving back ancestral remains to Tribes. The truth is, there's a lot more to it!

NAGPRA encourages fed agencies and Tribes to work together to make a plan for when burials are found in the field and can't remain in place.
