Case update! This week NARF filed a brief on behalf of the National Congress of American Indians in support of the Thorpes and Sac and Fox Nation petition for rehearing or rehearing en banc in the Jim Thorpe case. The parties argued that the Third Circuit panels decision this past October wrongly interpreted NAGPRA and Congress’ intent, left out major procedural provisions of the statute, and created a judicial exception to its application.
