The Office of Tribal Relations facilitates engagement with Native American Tribal Nations and associated government entities to build strong Tribal partnerships, ensures compliance with state and federal laws, conducts government-to-government Tribal relations, and supports academic programs for Native American programs and students.
The California State University (CSU) is committed to the timely and responsible return of Native American ancestral remains and cultural items, in compliance with the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and California’s Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (CalNAGPRA). These laws underscore the importance of respecting Native American culture and heritage by ensuring proper consultation with Tribes and Tribal communities regarding the repatriation of ancestral remains and cultural items.
