passage 2
P1
Many Native Americans view the archaeological excavation and museum display of ancestral skeletal remains and items buried with them as a spiritual desecration. ███
NA perspective / problem ·
Digging up ancestral remains and items buried with them is offensive
Potential solution ·
Legal remedies can prohibit or regulate digging up remains/items, as long as NA can establish standing
Three bases of standing ·
These categories of plaintiffs traditionally have standing
(1) deceased's heirs, (2) owner of the property on which grave is located, (3) parties with clear interest in preservation of a particular grave. For the last category, graves that are recent and associated with identifiable NA communities are likely to support standing. But graves that are old and not associated with a nearby NA community are less likely to support standing.
When there is standing ·
Common law can allow NA to bring claims against archaelogists and museums

Details of common law protection ·
Property law can establish NA claims to dug up artifacts
In one case, the court ruled that the common law doctrine of abandonment does not apply to objects buried with deceased people. This suggests artifacts from NA ancestral graves should be returned to the tribal groups that can establish standing.

Individual vs. Communal Property ·
Museums can't assume valid title to an artifact simply because they purchased it from an individual NA
An individual NA doesn't have title to artifacts that are communal property.
