Types of cultural property covered by the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) include human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony. Funerary objects are items that contained human remains or were placed with human remains for burial. Sacred objects are ceremonial items essential to the practice of Native American religions. Objects of cultural patrimony are items that are owned by a tribe as a whole and would have been inalienable when the tribe lost possession of them.
