An audit estimates only 6% of CSU's almost 700,000 Native American artifacts and remains have been repatriated.
Tribal leaders are demanding the California State University system return thousands of Native American remains and cultural objects.
"As we gather today to further the healing process initiated in 2019 by the governor we must also seek the return of our ancestors remains now in the state's possession - specifically those in the possession of the California State University system," said Assemblyman James Ramos. "Those human remains rightfully and morally belong to the tribal families for proper and respectful re-burial. It is very concerning that decades after federal and state laws were enacted to repatriate remains and cultural objects almost nothing has been done to fulfill that obligation."
