The National Museum of Natural History is hiring a Repatriation Program Manager. They will perform work related to the inventory, documentation, tribal consultation, & repatriation of Native American ancestors, and archaeological\ethnographic objects https://usajobs.gov/job/724451400Why are physical remains of Native American communities in a "Natural History museum" anyway?

In how many US states have the natural history collections not been renamed "Natural History and Indigenous Culture Museum" yet?
