Skull to Auction at Christie's

Hanh mitakuyapi / hello my relatives.  Two mornings ago there was a piece on National Public Radio that the Skull & Bones club at Yale (?) (or is it Harvard?) has put a skull "said to have been used as a ballot box" at Christie's Auction House in NYC.  The skull is "expected to bring $10,000 - $12,000" according to the NPR report.  Since then, there has been no mention of this skull.

I emailed Christie's & got no reply.  This doesn't surprise me,  since I've had dealings with them in the past & their attitude has been monumentally patronizing & racist every time.  That doesn't mean they should be allowed to get away  with selling human bones, however, especially ours.

I thought it is illegal to sell human bones, or at the very least that NAGPRA would cover this, but Chrisitie's either believes it is above the law or that we Indns aren't worth consideration.

I've emailed 2 of theApache tribes, since that's all I could find contact information for, but I hope someone reads this in time & if that skull is Geronimo's, stops the sale.  personally, I'm of the opinion that people who deal in our Peoples' bones should be staked out on a hot day & left to get thoroughly dry.  No matter what, selling skulls is suspicious  behavior for the Skull & Bones club, since they have never done right by us regarding their supposed possession of Geronimo's skull - & who know who else's.

Mitakuye  oiasin / All (are)  my  relatives.
