Here and Now - Stolen Native Artifacts

[Law Enforcement] [Legal] [Arts and Culture]

It's something straight out of a Tony Hillerman novel, only Navajo Tribal Police detective Jim Chee and Lt. Joe Leaphorn never saw this magnitude of looting of archeological sites.

Federal authorities indicted two dozen people after a 2 1/2-year investigation of Native American artifacts taken from public and tribal land and illegally sold to traders and collectors. Already, two suspects in the case committed suicide and authorities have recovered items from all four corner states. We'll talk to a couple reporters covering the investigation.

We'll also learn more about the federal laws designed to protect Native American cultural items -- human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, or objects of cultural patrimony.

Joining us will be former Arizona U.S. Attorney Paul Charlton who has prosecuted similar cases and helped enforce the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). Joining Charlton will be Sherry Hutt, a former assistant U.S. Attorney, judge and currently the program manager that oversees NAGPRA.

This is a topic few people know much about, so please let us know what questions or comments you have.

Paul

Re: Here and Now - Stolen Native Artifacts

I am glad to see that you are covering this issue. I would also suggest that you have a Native American representative and a professional archaeologist in your discussion. These are the two parties that are most involved in and impacted by this type of activity.

Re: Here and Now - Stolen Native Artifacts

As a Mormon and an archaeologist, I have trouble understanding the desire of LDS people in southern Utah to take objects from graves. Mormon people have a specific manner in which they bury their dead that is considered sacred. If outsiders came to the Blanding cemetery, dug up the pioneer ancestors of today's Blanding residents, and took some of the objects, the people there would be very upset. If LDS people interested in Native American culture understood that Native Americans feel the same way about the graves of their ancestors, far fewer burials would be disturbed.
