On the heels of a Paris auction house withdrawing from sale an Acoma Pueblo shield, a Dallas-based house is set to auction off more than 100 items from Pine Ridge and Rosebud reservations, including three cavalry guns used in the Wounded Knee Massacre and two pipes. Heritage Auctions plans to open its Legends of the West auction on June 11. The lot contains more than 400 items, including everything from letters and photographs to weapons, beadwork and even a scalp lock. Starting bids range from copy, for a wig used in an old Wild West show, to copy2,500 for an autograph book containing signatures from both James Butler Hickok (“Wild Bill”) and William F. Cody (“Buffalo Bill”). |

Those items should be given back to the tribes they were taken from.
The Sand Creek and Wounded Knee massacres, the mass execution of the 38+2 and the attempts to erase Native Culture are absolute shameful stains on American history. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
