What has the Burke been doing to update tribes on materials that have been added to the collection from 1995 to the present?
The Burke recognized that until 2007 there was no vehicle in place for reporting collections acquired between reporting of the 1995 inventories and the present. In order to stay in communication with tribes, and as a courtesy to provide tribes information about incoming collections, the Burke submitted summaries to tribes with these updates in 1999, 2001, 2005, and 2007. For any human remains or funerary objects discovered in the collections during this time, the Burke reported those as soon as possible to the affiliated tribes.
