On the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act and Its Impact on Identity Formation of Indigenous Peoples

《全国土著和民族权利法》规定，《全国土著和民族权利法》下的代理人是关于“文化归属”的条款中的一个“现代”族裔结构。该条所界定的族裔往往是排他性的，正如美国西南部著名的争议所示，因此，这一概念似乎无法解决争议。在这个意义上，它需要一些修改。此外，本研究的重点是艺术市场上的非宗教项目，其中土著人民可以决定对他们的项目的解释。艺术市场对他们来说是一个富有成果的机会，让他们能够将自己的艺术作品暴露在偶然性中。NAGPRA在日本的应用必须谨慎，因为利益相关者和博物馆尚未认真讨论宗教自由。

NAGPRA entails that agent under NAGPRA be a “modern” construct of ethnicity in the Article on “Cultural Affiliation.” The ethnicity, as defined by that Article, tends to be exclusive, as seen in the famous controversy in the American Southwest, and thus, it appears that the concept was not able to resolve the controversy. To that extent, it needs some modification. In addition, this study focuses on non-religious items in art market, in which Indigenous People can determine interpretation on their items. Art market can be regarded as a fruitful opportunity for them, allowing them to expose their work of art to contingency. An application of NAGPRA to Japanese context has to be careful, as Freedom of Religion has not been seriously discussed by stakeholders and museums.
