In those instances wherein a person has been authorized by the director to proceed with the proposed development as planned, as provided in section 40-02-03-07, the intertribal reinterment committee shall attempt to determine the tribal identity or affiliation of the human remains and any burial goods interred in the burial site at issue.
Thereafter, the intertribal reinterment committee shall, as soon as practicable and subsequent to the completion of any study conducted on the contents of the burial at the direction of the society, cause the disinterred human remains and any and all burial goods to be reinterred on Indian lands within the boundaries of the appropriate Indian reservation, as determined by the intertribal reinterment committee.
Each such reinterment shall provide an opportunity for appropriate tribal religious ceremony or ceremonies.
The disinterment of the contents of a burial must be conducted under the supervision of a qualified archaeologist in accordance with the procedures inherent in a standard archaeological and contextual analysis within the applicable scope of study as defined in section 40-02-03-01.
