The Alabama Department of Archives and History is beginning the process of returning the remains of Native Americans and their funerary objects held in its archives.

The department also announced that it had removed Native American funerary objects from displays where the artefacts had sat for years, viewed by school groups and other visitors.

The first materials to be returned to Native American communities from the Alabama archives will be 37 sets of human remains and 349 associated funerary objects that were excavated from burials at two sites in Montgomery and Lowndes counties in the early 1900s.
