FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — An Arizona tribe is asking a Paris auction house to cancel its upcoming sale of dozens of items central to the tribe’s religious practices and return them to their original homes in the American Southwest.
Neret-Minet Tessier & Sarrou describes the collection on its website as katsina masks of the Hopi Indians of Arizona. They are scheduled to be auctioned April 12, with some expected to garner tens of thousands of dollars each.
