Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 2003.

This dissertation analyzes religious discourse in the context of the <italic>Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act</italic> of 1990 (NAGPRA). NAGPRA provides a legal framework within which Native Americans can seek the repatriation of human remains and certain categories of cultural objects—including “sacred objects”—from Federal institutions. Taking NAGPRA as one instance of larger situation wherein native peoples around the globe must engage legal arenas in order to preserve their heritage, the dissertation focuses upon the ways native representatives have utilized religious language in the course of articulating repatriation claims. Methodologically, the dissertation is based upon a close reading of government documents concerning the law and participant observation in a variety of NAGPRA-related events. Chapter 1 provides background concerning the law, charts the course of the dissertation, and provides an initial discussion of the thesis to be defended. Chapter 2 explores the legislative history of NAGPRA. Chapter 3 traces the life history of the law's axial term, cultural affiliation. Chapter 4 is a case study of a dispute concerning a putatively sacred Hawaiian object. Chapter 5 moves beyond the strictly legal context to analyze NAGPRA discourse in the public realm. Chapter 6 concludes the dissertation by way of a theoretical treatment of issues raised in the foregoing chapters, arguing that religious language was the chief means by which native representatives, speaking from multiple subject positions and articulating traditional claims in a diversity of novel ways, accomplished the seemingly impossible feat of persuading non-native audiences of the applicability of putatively universal human rights to their cultural remains.Subjects--Topical Terms:
