Comment on FR Doc # E7-20209

I have read the proposed changes and am happy to see a provision for non federally recognised tribes to apply for repatriation if all other avenues with federally recognised tribes and Hawian entities are exhausted. I also feel that museums and federal agencies holding human remains, funiary objects and ceremonial,sacred objects need to upgrade their DNA testing from patrilineal only to total DNA. The patrilineal DNA leaves out many ancestors on both sides of the remains. This gives the museums and federal agencies an excuse to call them unidentifiably cultural and keep them for further study when they have already been stored for decades. Total DNA testing is more cost effective than doing just matrilineal or patrilineal testing and gives the complete ancestry not just the male decendents. I am sure many remains would have found their way back to the proper ancestors were this total DNA testing done in the first place. If all avenues of repatriation are exhausted then all agencies holding these items and remains that fall under NAGPRA laws should then return them to their place of discovery and re inter them in a timely manner with a deadline set by NAGPRA.
