Repatriation

[[It appears that a lot of people have used the Spring 2010 magazine for this assignment-there were only two on the shelf and the other one didn't list specific incidences...so sorry if there are repeats :/]]

2."Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Denver, CO [August 29, 2008]. In 1983 a donor gave the museum a whale hairpiece made out of mountain goat-horn with abalone insets, which art dealer Michael R. Johnson indicated that he had obtained a decade earlier from Mrs. Dan Katzeek of Klukwanm, Alaska. Johnson opined that this type of whale hairpiece, intended for use with a single braid, would have been worn around the time of Captain James Cook's thrid Pacific voyage [1776-1780]."

7. "US Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, Coulee Dam, WA (September 3, 2008). The notice pertains to 2,266 'unassociated funerary objects' retrieved from various sites within the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, which features a reservoir formed as a result of the completion of Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River in 1941. Dating to as far back as 2,500 years ago, the materials consist mainly of stone and bone utilitarian artifacts, which the government agreed should be transferred to the Confederated Tribes of Colville Reservation in Washington."

8."Field Museum, Chicago, IL (September 10, 2008). In 1902 the museum purchased a wooden rattle and worked walrus tusk from navy lieutenant George T. Emmons, who served in Alaska and from whom the instituion acquired a considerable amount of Native American material starting in the 1890's. The thirteen-inch-long, red-and-blue rattle represents an oyster catcher; the walrus tusk is composed of four sections, each about eleven inches in length. Collection information states that the tusk sections were 'found in an old cave on a small island in Icy Straits (southeastern Alaska) where a Shaman of the "Hoonah" tribe was laid away,' while the oyster catcher came from a grave house on Frederick Bay, 'near the village of "Gan- der-kan", of the Hoonah tribe.' The museum agreed to give both unassociated funerary objects back to the Hoonah Indian Association of ALaska."
