Cal Poly Humboldt Land Acknowledgement

We encourage all to gain a deeper understanding of their history and thriving culture. As an expression of our gratitude, we are genuinely committed to developing trusting, reciprocal, and long-lasting partnerships with the Wiyot people as well as all of our neighboring tribes.

NAGPRA

Compliance with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) is of the utmost importance to Cal Poly Humboldt. While we conducted a comprehensive inventory in 2023 which determined that the campus does not have any human remains or funerary objects in its possession, we do have more work to do with respect to cultural items on campus. To that end, a full-time coordinator was hired to work with tribes to ensure that all cultural items are handled and identified according to tribal protocol. Upon tribal recommendation, all items will be returned to tribes of origin.
