Auction Alerts
The Association on American Indian Affairs is providing this list of upcoming domestic and international auctions that may contain sensitive indigenous cultural heritage items. If you are aware of other auctions containing potentially sensitive cultural items, please reach out to the Association on American Indian Affairs. If you have any facts that may support a claim of theft or looting, please immediately contact either BIA Special Agent Franklin Chavez, franklin.chavez@bia.gov / 505-228-8053, or FBI Supervisory Special Agent Tim Carpenter, tscarpenter@fbi.gov / 202-324-5525. |

It is time for Auction Houses, Dealers and Collectors in Indigenous Peoples Ancestors, burial belongings and sacred and cultural patrimony to practice ANTI-RACISM! Read More in our PRESS RELEASE! |
For Indigenous Nations
There are many different federal, state and Tribal laws that may apply to sensitive cultural items that have been misappropriated. Those laws include the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act and the Archaeological Resources Protection Act, but there are other laws that may apply that auction houses and dealers do not review. If you see items that may be sensitive to your Family, Band, Tribe or Nation, please contact the Association on American Indian Affairs and inform us of the situation. We can support your efforts toward repatriation by providing technical assistance, strategies, and making connections with other Tribes, non-profits, law firms, auction houses, and other organizations and pool our resources to support the protection of your cultural heritage.
For Auction Houses, Dealers and Collectors of Indigenous “Antiquities” and “Artifacts”
In order to ensure that the item you hold is a commercial item with proper title and provenience information, you must consult an official Tribal representative of the Tribe or indigenous group that may be affiliated with the item. That is the only good faith manner that you can sell items you call "antiquities" or "artifacts." Often, information about the origination of an item has been manipulated over time by collectors and dealers, and the affiliated Tribe is the only appropriate expert to confirm whether an item is saleable or has been misappropriated. The Association is available to work with auction houses, collectors, museums, and others who are seeking to work within federal, state and Tribal laws, as well as meeting consumer professional and due diligence requirements to sell and own Native American items. In fact, there are many federal, state and Tribal laws that we find auction houses ignoring, which can be bad for credible trade. Title to items of Native American cultural heritage must be vetted with affiliated Tribal Nations.
The Association always recommends supporting contemporary Native artists, and not to purchase antiquities or artifacts.
If you have questions or concerns about items in your possession, please reach out to the Association and we can assist in finding information about your items and make appropriate connections with official Tribal government representatives. In many cases, items can be charitably donated back to their respective Tribes or through a non-profit like the Association, or other suitable arrangements can be made for return.
