Repatriation Act of 1990

The act passed in 1990 that is known as the Repatriation Act relates to the cultural heritage being returned to Native Americans in the United States. There are items such as human remains, sacred objects, historical objects that, according to the Repatration Act, need to be returned to their homeland. Air Ambulance services provide for the transport of the ill and also for the deceased to be returned to their homeland. This specialized transportation is done all over the United States and Worldwide. Moreover, much of this type of work for specialized air charter companies tends to be concentrated in certain parts of the country. This includes Texas and New Mexico, among others. Since the Repatration Act has been passed, much effort has been put towards the rightful replacement of these items for Native Americans. Families and Museums have benefitted from the Repatration Act.

I would like to thank everyone involved from turning a potentially difficult experience into an enjoyable one. My mother,Mary, and I enjoyed the flight, and the flight nurse, was terrific. He really allayed all our fears, and we felt perfect confidence in him.

The pilot and first officer were also wonderful and instilled great confidence in us. All in all, it was a marvelous trip and we can’t thank you enough!!!

This letter commends the efficiency and professionalism of your organization during the recent transport of our aunt, Lisa Cordero, from New York City to Cleveland. The flight crew was courteous and helpful. Your flight coordinators were exceptionally competent in arranging a quite difficult transfer.

Where we have had frustrations with lawyers, bankers, and doctors, we had only the most ‘can do’ attitude from all of your staff. We have recommended your service to a colleague and will continue to do so without hesitation.
