- Description
- The 1989 National Museum of the American Indian Act (NMAIA) opened a new era in relations between Native Americans and museums by giving legal weight to the spiritual and ethical concerns of tribes. To commemorate 25 years of repatriation, the National Museum of the American Indian has convened this symposium to discuss the history of the NMAIA, current repatriation practices at the Smithsonian Institution, and the future of repatriation beyond political and geographical boundaries. In this segment, Lauryn Guttenplan, Associate General Counsel, Smithsonian Institution, and panel moderator, introduces the panel topic, "Smithsonian Repatriation Under the NMAIA: The First 25 Years." Lauryn Guttenplan has been with the Smithsonian’s Office of General Counsel for 29 years and is currently Associate General Counsel. She works on a wide range of issues, including intellectual property, contracts, and non-profit tax in addition to repatriation. She has advised the Smithsonian on all matters pertaining to repatriation beginning with the drafting of the NMAI Act through the present and has worked closely with both the NMAI and NMNH to interpret and apply the law, draft and revise repatriation policies and procedures, and advise on specific repatriation claims, reports and recommendations. She has served as Chair and faculty for the annual Conference on Legal Issues in Museum Administration and regularly lectures on repatriation and other museum legal topics. The symposium, "Going Home: 25 Years of Repatriation Under the NMAI Act," was webcast and recorded at the Rasmuson Theater of the National Museum of the American Indian on November 19, 2014.
