Senator Schatz Demands Institutions to Comply with the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act

U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i) speaks on the Senate floor about how for decades, museums and universities have been failing to comply with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act—meaning that they've been holding onto Native ancestral remains and items against federal law. Senator Schatz talks about the hypocrisy of these supposed "progressive" institutions, and demands they return the items to the Native communities they rightfully belong to.
