University of Montana

University of Montana (UM) is an institution that organizes and hosts events directly tied to Indigenous cultural preservation, including NAGPRA-focused trainings and summits and staffing for repatriation and collections management. Evidence shows UM hosted a Plains Region NAGPRA Training (May 12–14, 2026), maintains NAGPRA summit/presenter information on its site, and has hired a NAGPRA/repatriation coordinator — all indicating it functions as an organizer/host for tribal cultural preservation conferences, repatriation summits, and related cultural-resources/archives activities.
