KUYI Hopi Public Radio via Heard Museum **UPDATE** Monroe Warshaw is a photographer and art dealer who bought two Hopi sacred items at a Paris auction last spring has decided to return them to the Hopi Tribe in Northern Arizona. Monroe stated after attending a Hopi ceremony that "Despite them being ceremonial or religious, they’re extraordinary things and when you realize, you don’t own these, But if you would’ve seen what I saw you almost couldn’t. You couldn’t own it because it’s like you’ve ripped the heart of an animal out. These are living things and they should be there." It was a Home Dance that he attended that caused him to change his mind. Home Dance is what Kevin and I just went south to attend. For more info, go to the news story at this link:
