We have been providing services in support of repatriation to Indian Tribes, Native Hawaiian organizations, lineal descendants, museums, universities, colleges, municipalities, state governments, and federal agencies since the 1980s.
Miigwetch (thank you) for all that you do on behalf of the tribes! Someday I know there will be a lodge and warm fire for you prepared by the ancestors.
The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan is thankful for all of the blessings that we receive through Jan’s work. The spiritual well-being of our tribe and the future of our children is strengthened because of her. For that we will always be grateful.

I would like to take a moment to tell you how pleased we are with Claire [B&A Associate]. Her knowledge and professionalism is outstanding. I, for one, am very satisfied we hired you for the task of inventorying our collection, which is going along smoothly, thanks to Claire.

My museum has worked closely with B&A for the last several years, and find the company to be highly reliable, extremely knowledgeable about NAGPRA, and has the ability to produce results. I highly recommend Bernstein & Associates for either museums or tribes needing help with NAGPRA.
Thank you for your kindness, professionalism, insights, trust and wisdom across these last few months.
Jen Zwolinski, Office of the Provost, University of San Diego

Thank you for all the work you have done for the Tribes.

The training B&A provided was great value for money. It helped us advance our NAGPRA program, and the follow-up support went beyond the service level we expected. I look forward to future work with this company.
B&A have helped my museum not only through initial consultation procedures but has been a great resource for all questions related to NAGPRA without having to call the office in Washington D.C.
We have come to rely on Bernstein & Associates for accurate and well-considered answers to complex NAGPRA issues. They are always just a phone call away.
I found the seminar to be both informative and inspiring. You are truly an amazing, dedicated advocate for this work; it was refreshing to take the class with you. So spirit centered. I look forward to working with you again.

Thank you so much ...this was truly exactly what we needed to take the necessary steps to become compliant and understand how best to organize ourselves.
Thank you again,
