"Museums Remove Native Artifacts in Response to Federal Regulations"
TL;DR
The American Museum of Natural History is closing two major halls and covering display cases featuring Native American cultural items in response to new federal regulations requiring museums to obtain consent from tribes before displaying or researching these items. Museums across the country are also scrambling to comply with the new rules, with some covering up displays and others removing funerary belongings from exhibition.
