Who can benefit...
Eligible beneficiaries for museum documentation awards include any institution or State or local government agency(including any institution of higher learning) that has possession of or control over Native American human remains or cultural items and which has completed the following NAGPRA obligations: provided a written summary of their Native American collections to the National Park Service and culturally affiliated Indian tribes; and submitted an inventory of Native American human remains and associated funerary objects in their collections to the National Park Service and culturally affiliated Indian tribes. Eligible beneficiaries for tribal documentation and repatriation awards are Indian tribes, Alaska Native villages or corporations, or Native Hawaiian organizations that meet the criteria outlined in the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. An Indian tribe is defined in the statute as any tribe, band, Nation, or other organized group or community of Indians which is recognized as eligible for the special programs and services provided by the United States to Indians because of their status as Indians. Alaska Native villages and corporations include those groups or communities defined in, or established pursuant to, the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. Native Hawaiian organizations include any organization that: serves and represents the interests of Native Hawaiians; has as a primary and stated purpose the provision of services to Native Hawaiians; and has expertise in Native Hawaiian Affairs. NAGPRA states that such Native Hawaiian organizations shall include the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and Hui Malama I Na Kupuna `O Hawai`I Nei. Repatriation grants will be awarded only after publication of the required Notice of Inventory Completion or Notice of Intent to Repatriate in the Federal Register.

About this section:
This section lists the ultimate beneficiaries of a program, the criteria they must satisfy and who specifically is not eligible. The applicant and beneficiary will generally be the same for programs that provide assistance directly from a Federal agency. However, financial assistance that passes through State or local governments will have different applicants and beneficiaries since the assistance is transmitted to private sector beneficiaries who are not obligated to request or apply for the assistance.
