The NAGPRA laws that were written years ago have recently become enforced for museums and government agencies. At Artifact, it is our opinion that properly documenting objects and consulting the tribes of the ancestor artists is the right thing to do. Steve Tamayo is a regular consultant to numerous museums in the United States and Europe regarding plains Tribal art and artifacts. We can assist in proper identification of your collection and put you in contact with tribal preservation officers when requested so that you can continue to display sacred items in your collection.
