Native Artifacts On E-Bay

Submitted by Jean Bedell-Mashkikinabinais

My hope is any Native newspaper will print this article. This is a outrage and must be stopped. This is not the first time we Native people have had problems with the exploitation of our people. .

Subject: ANOTHER Corpse Tag on EBAY......

We stopped the last one now we have to stop this one.. I am so angry over this because not only is this just not done but a person claiming to be of Indian heritage is selling this...his address and address of e-bay are below. Thank you...please let’s gather and stop this again...many blessings - red tree woman”

17-1800's WYOMING TERRITORY CORPSE TAG INDIAN Artifacts
Description Item number: 3944393535
Ends 1840 hours 2 Dec 04 (just less than 24 hours from NOW)

This auction is for a very unique Indian relic from Wyoming territory. It is in good dug condition, measures 3" across. Made from heavy weight silver metal. It has some minor damage, very slightly bent. The tag is marked Bureau of Indian Affairs Wyoming Territory.

There is a rectangular box for the corpse number to be inscribed. Says "corpse No."alongside the box. The reverse of the tag has no writing or markings.The person who dug it up found several others with this one, so maybe it was the stash. Not sure if they were ever used or not. Very nice antique item with great historical value! Ideal Christmas gifts.

This is 100% GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC as stated from the personal collection of a Sioux/Menomonee Native American Indian, that's me! I have enjoyed collecting Indian artifacts since my boyhood days of walking the freshly plowed fields.
