    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) plans to repatriate a sacred cultural item, a heraldic house screen associated with the Tlingit Thunderbird Clan, back to the Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes. This item, integral to Tlingit rituals, was acquired by LACMA in 2017 after being auctioned and owned by a private collector. The museum is in consultation with Native tribes and descendent organizations, inviting any other claimants to contact them by February 22, 2021. If no additional claims are made, the item will be transferred to the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes as it holds historical and ceremonial significance.

    Simple Explanation

    The Los Angeles County Museum of Art has an important screen that belongs to the Tlingit people, and they are planning to give it back to them because it's special and should be with the tribe. They're asking if there's anyone else who believes the screen is theirs, and if no one else speaks up by February 22, 2021, they'll go ahead and return it to the Tlingit Tribe.

    The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) plans to return cultural items, identified as unassociated funerary objects, to Native American tribes. These items, found during excavations in the 1930s on McKee Island, Alabama, include black and blue glass beads. Tribes that are culturally linked to these artifacts, such as the Cherokee Nation and Muscogee (Creek) Nation, have been notified. Others who wish to make a claim must do so by March 1, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The Tennessee Valley Authority found some special beads on an island in Alabama long ago and wants to give them back to the Native American tribes that once owned them. If more people or tribes think they should get the beads, they need to say so by March 1, 2021.
