Human remains, and materials found in association with those remains, will not be knowingly exhibited in any public venue of the Laboratory, the Department of Anthropology and Sociology, or in any exhibition sponsored by the Laboratory without permission from all relevant First Nations groups.

The Laboratory of Archaeology does not accept deposits of human skeletal remains unless copies of Band Council Resolutions are received from all interested First Nations groups requesting that the LOA act as the temporary repository.

The LOA responds to all requests from First Nations groups for repatriation of human remains in the collections. Each request will be reviewed by the Laboratory of Archaeology (LOA) Committee and be considered on its own merits.
