Associate Professor Jenny Davis' work to repatriate Native remains on the UofI campus has been instrumental. From starting the process, to co-chairing (along with Professor Ripan S Malhi) the newly-established NAGPRA offie, to meeting with members of tribal communities, Professor Davis has taken on a long, and often painful task.

This process, important on its own right, has set the motion to practices and policies bearing the potential to improve the UofI relations with tribal nations. 

In this LAS News piece, Professor Davis recounts her journey.
