Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History
Repatriation Office Website
The Repatriation Office of the Department of Anthropology at the National Museum of Natural History is the section of the Smithsonian Institution responsible for the process by which Smithsonian museums transfer possession and control of Native American, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian human remains, funerary objects, objects of cultural patrimony and sacred objects back to the tribes of origin. It is a collaborative process in which museum staff work with tribal representatives to determine the disposition of these remains and objects.
S2N Media was contracted by the Smithsonian to create the websites that present the public face of this work: the Repatriation Office and Repatriation Review Committee sites. Using elements of native design and complementary color schemes, S2N designers produced websites which are elegant, easy to navigate, and clearly related to each other, while each maintains a unique identity.
