Understanding UC Berkeley’s Historical Non-Compliance with the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act (NAGRPA)

Join Professor Seth Davis for a conversation examining UC Berkeley’s historical non-compliance with the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act, an issue that has been widely documented and criticized in discussions of the university’s treatment of Indigenous cultural heritage. The discussion will feature Tony Platt, distinguished legal scholar and author, about his book, The Scandal at Cal: Land Grabs, White Supremacy, and Miseducation at UC Berkeley. 

Together, they will explore Berkeley’s historical ties to Indigenous land dispossession, the desecration of Native graves, and the broader legal and institutional context surrounding the university’s past failures to comply with federal and state repatriation laws. 

The event will take place in Classroom 100 on Monday, April 6, 2026, from 12:50 -2:00 PM. Lunch will be served.
