Panel Discussion: "Repatriation Futures at UCSB and Beyond"

The Walter H. Capps Center for the Study of Ethics, Religion, and Public Life will present "Repatriation Futures at UCSB & Beyond," a panel featuring local, national, and global repatriation and burial protection experts on Feb. 12th at 4:00pm at UCSB's Betty Elings Wells Pavilion (Faculty Club). This event is free and open to the public.

What are the future horizons for indigenous repatriation work? What are best practices in repatriation settings, and how might they inform repair work in other contexts, such as education or land returns? This panel discussion will begin by foregrounding Chumash leaders, then build outward to include broader Indigenous repair work nationally and globally. A reception will follow the panel.
