1.What is repatriation and what is NAGPRA? Why should museums return cultural objects to Native American tribes and nations? What are some of the complications related to the process of repatriation?

Who is the intended audience for the artwork or cultural object? How was it produced?
What is the political, economic, religious and/or social context? i.e what was happening in society at the time when it was made?
Where was it located after it was completed and who had access to it? What is the response to the artwork?
