ProPublica & NBC News released a report highlighting how a top UC Berkeley anthropology professor, Tim White, taught with a collection of human remains that may have included dozens of Native American remains. Despite a long battle by Native groups and organizations to repatriate the remains back to Native land, the University has dragged its feet in the process.
