Plundered skulls and stolen spirits : inside the fight to reclaim native America's culture

Summary: "A fascinating account of both the historical and current struggle of Native Americans to recover sacred objects that have been plundered and sold to museums.

Museums that care for the objects of history or the communities whose ancestors made them?"--Provided by the publisher.
