In our longstanding work supporting Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities, NARF has been committed to helping foster respectful, just, and sovereign relationships around sacred places, ancestral burials, and cultural objects. That’s why we’re proud to share and promote the Sacred Grounds: A Right Relations Guidebook on Native Burials and Cultural Items, co-authored with Land Justice Futures.
