Subject: Interim Policy on the Control of Native American Human Remains and Cultural Items at Chico State

In acknowledgment of the historical, systematic mistreatment of California Native Americans, including the separation of Native American ancestral human remains and cultural items from Native American tribes, and the ongoing work to repatriate Native American human remains and cultural items that currently or in the future will be in the possession and control of California State University, Chico, I approve the Interim Policy on Control of Native American Human Remains and Cultural Items at Chico State, effective immediately.
