Cal State LA asks departments to report Native Californian items

California State University, Los Angeles is asking its departments and offices to report any items of Native Californian origin they might have, whether those items were bought, gifted or collected in some other way, according to California Globe.

The request is part of the university’s effort to follow state repatriation laws that line up with the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. Staff are being asked to share such details as where the items are, when they were collected and who owns them, with responses due by Sept. 15.
