Jim

Just wanted you to know I talked to Morag and passed on a phone number 
for a US Customs Officer who will help her with repatriation of the 
artifacts.

Any time I can help let me know!

Dear BCMAers,

I’m hoping someone might have some advice on the following odd situation.

In 1979, a local resident donated a series of Aboriginal artefacts to 
the White Rock museum. These artefacts were found in California 
(presumably brought to BC by the donor). Some time ago they were 
earmarked for deaccession from our collection, as they don’t fit our 
mandate, but the question becomes: what do we do with them now? What are 
the legal and ethical implications of sending these artefacts back 
across the border, to the museum in the town where they were found?

Thanks in advance for any advice you might have.
