Seeing this show in Alaska adds a little more interest. 👍

This was an awesome segment on articles that originate in Alaska. Personally, I only have two, but now I treasure them even more. How does one know the difference between objects that need to be returned and objects that the artist sold for profit?

How disingenuous. Thanks for keeping our ancestor alive via trade. Thanks for preserving that item now give it back because you are unworthy of retaining it.

I can absolutely understand your concerns about Native art, Cookware, or Weapons. The only thing that makes me pause is that a lot of these objects were traded by the First Nations people. Back in the day a pot was a pot, it didn’t have any cultural significance whatsoever it was used to enrich the person or persons both ways. Both parties gained from this trading at the time. I’m talking of First Nations people around the world. Of course stolen goods should be returned immediately and banned from sale forever.

Give back a paid for item? Why so your kid can pawn it?

The reason we stopped trading with some tribes because they would want back of what ever they traded. My childhood friends were American Indian.

Ahh, so then the phrase Indian Giver might just be a reality and not a slur?..
