Hey Allison,

I just have a formatting suggestion that I noticed (acknowledging everyone's eyes are different -- feel free to disregard)

Mostly I'm curious if your final section -- "Repatriation and Indigenous Peoples" could be divided even further? It's relatively more text-heavy than the previous sections which makes it somewhat more difficult to navigate, even with the bolded act names (though, again, maybe just me). Sub- sub sections aren't the greatest, but I liked your overview of this section at the beginning and think it deserves to be separated from your previous sections. Looking at the text you have here, I'm wondering if the following would make sense (or something similar):

  • 6 Repatriation and Indigenous Peoples
    • 6.1 United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People;
    • 6.2 United States
      • 6.2.1 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act;
      • 6.2.2 SAA Protocols (incorporate 2nd paragraph of 6.2 about the Protocols into this sub-section);
      • 6.2.3 Response to SAA Protocols (as a separate sub- sub-section);
    • 6.3 Canada
      • 6.3.1 First Nations Sacred Ceremonial Objects Repatriation Act;
      • 6.3.2 [Library and Archives Canada];
    • 6.4 Australia;
      • 6.4.1 [name of primary repatriation policy/law?];
      • 6.4.2 Court cases;
      • 6.4.3 Australian Law Reform Commission (1990-);
      • 6.4.4 Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Library Information Resources Network Protocols;
    • 6.5 New Zealand;
      • 6.5.1 [The Museum of New Zealand];
      • 6.5.2 [Treaty of Waitangi/Te tiriti O Waitangi];
      • 6.5.3 [Maori Protocols]

Overall, I think this is an excellent, comprehensive source on Repatriation! You've provided a considerable amount of information with a logical historical analysis. : ) -Other Alison

I think breaking it up is a great idea. It's definitely too much text all at once right now (as Morgan pointed out). Thanks for the suggestions for different sections. I will go ahead and try some out to see what helps!
