The Wyoming Episcopal diocese has had about 200 Northern Arapaho tribal items since 1946. Now, the tribe gets them back.
By Anumita Kaur, The Washington PostSome of the 200 cultural items that the Wyoming Episcopal Church returned to the Northern Arapaho tribe last week. about 200 cultural items to the Northern Arapaho tribe on Monday after a years-long effort by the tribe to repatriate the artifacts.
It’s about time the items return home, said Jordan Dresser, a former chairman of the Northern Arapaho tribe and one of the community leaders who worked for the artifacts’ return. The Northern Arapaho reside in west central Wyoming on the Wind River Reservation. Following the order, several museums across the country began covering displays of artifacts from federally recognized Native American and Native Hawaiian groups as they determined whether they could obtain consent for the exhibits or would have to return the artifacts, The Washington Post reported.
In 2012, Dresser and other tribe members approached the church to obtain some of the items for a historical display at the Wind River Hotel and Casino. At first, they were told no, Dresser said.
