The Pueblo of Zuni has been actively involved in the repatriation of cultural property and human remains since 1977, long before the passage of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990.1 Several key elements of the Zuni position regarding repatriation were incorporated into the act. The Zuni War Gods were mentioned by name as an exemplar of cultural patrimony to be covered by the law during the Senate hearings that preceded its passage.2 During the last eighteen years it has become clear that repatriation is not a monolithic issue, even where the cultural concerns of a single tribe are considered. While the Pueblo of Zuni has sought repatriation of some materials to resolve problems defined by tribal religious leaders, it also has declined or deferred the repatriation of other materials. The complexity of repatriation issues at the Pueblo of Zuni are illustrated by comparing the tribe's effort to recover stolen Ahayu:da (Zuni War Gods) with its approach to the management of other cultural property and human remains. The rationale and the diverse approaches employed by the Pueblo of Zuni demonstrate why the Zuni Tribe seeks a case-by-case resolution of repatriation issues. Since other tribes and museums are currently grappling with many of the issues the Pueblo of Zuni already has addressed, Zuni activities can provide instructive examples of successful repatriation. The Zuni experience with repatriation should be examined by everyone interested in NAGPRA's implementation
