They would unlatch the metal clasps and take out a fringed shin adomed with careful beadwork, a weath- ered pair of moccasins and an elaborate headdress that trailed eagle feathers down to the floor. Passed along with the suitcase was the story told by their 19thmenntry an- cestor, Maj. Cicero Newell, who said he had received the clothing from the well- known Lakota leader Chief Spotted Tail during his stint as an agent for the federal government's Indi- an affairs office beginning in the late 0370s in what is no w South Dakota. The suitcase had been passed down five gener- ations, ending up m the guest room closet of New- ell's great -great-grandson, lames, a retired sales- person living in a small town in Washington state. But when it came time for James Newell to think about passing it along again, tlse sixth generation had a different idea. "Well, Dad, why don't we try giving it back?" James Newell, 77, recalled his son, Eric, asking when the topic came up several years ago at the dinner table. The older Newell thought about it. There was the issue of whom they would give it back to, but that could be worked MIL "It felt right," James Newell said. The Newels' suitcase is part of an untold number of Native artifacts kept in attics and closets across the United States, their origin stories often clouded by decades -long games of intergenerauonal tele- phone. A 1990 federal law set up a protocol for museums and other institutions to repatriate Native human remains, funerary objects and other cultural items in onsultionwith tribes and descendants. But that law doesn't cover the arti- facts found in your grand- fathers basement or your aunt's cupboard. As younger generations inherit these possessions, they're more likely to have an impulse toward giving them back, repatriation experts say. Some are motivated by a sense of ethical responsibility, some by practical considerations, and some because they have less interest in the cabinet of curiosities" traditions of earlier times. "Priority No. 1 was to get it into the hands of some- body who is going to take care of it and maintain it," said Eric Newell, 46, who noted that it had been his "great -great -great-grand- father" who had the origi- nal connection to it. So his father started doing research on the old suitcase in the closet, start- ing with the man who had asked that it be passed down to the firstborn son of each generation. (It had gone to James Newell, a second son, because his older brother had been wary of keeping the heir- looms in his trailer in the mountains, where he had worked as a logger.) As with many family stories, the exact circum- stances of how Cicero Irne Heirlooms given up by a family include a pair of fringed and beaded moccasins. at the South Dakota State Historical Society in Pierre, S.D., on Oct. 4. The descendants of a 19th-century federal official decided to return a prized collection of heirlooms to a descendant of a Lakota leader, Chief Spotted Tail. Newell came into posses- sion of the heirlooms are somewhat ambiguous, the Newells relied on what they had been told by previous generations and what they could find on- line A Civil War veteran from Michigan, Cicero Newell was appointed what was then termed a U.S. Indian agent — an employee tasked with communicating between the federal government and tribes. He was sta- tioned in what is now res- ervation land of the Rose- bud Sioux Tribe. For James Newell, an idea of what to do with the suitcase began to take shape in 2020. Newell was looking on the website of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe when he came upon a familiar name: John Spotted Tail, chief of staff to the tribal president. He reached him over the phone and told him what was inside his family's closet. "At first, I kind of thought it was a crank 11," John Spotted Tail, Grant a wish and make a difference!

All interested persons are invited to attend. For more Information, please contact the OMNI CRA office at (305) 679-6868. Ad No. 43633 Isiaa Jones, Executive Director Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency 69, recalled. But as he listened to Newell's story — after explaining to him that he was five generations re- moved from Chief Spotted Toil — he began to grow interested. Newell was eager to give the contents of the suitcase to a descendant of the Lakota chief but wary of driving it across the coun- try. Federal law prohibits the possession of eagle feathers without special dispensation, but the gov- ernment allows exceptions for Native Americans be- cause of their religious and cultural significance. New- ell was worried that if he were to be stopped on the road, his possession of the headdress could land him in jail. John Spotted Tail's curi- osity was piqued by New- ell's story. When he came home from work, he asked his wife, Tamara Stands and Looks Back -Spotted Tail, if they had enough money to travel to Wash- ington. They got in the car the next moming, supplied with lunch mot and bread, and began a 1,400- mile drive to the home of a complete stranger. "We're halfway there, and Hook at John, and I said,' What if these people aren't real?" said Spotted Tail's wife. But as soon as the couple rived in la Center, Washington, the Newells opened the suitcase for them. In addition to the clothing, it contained a bison horn and braided hair that could have be- longed to a horse or a person. After spending three days with the Newells, the Spotted Tails drove back to the Rosebud Reservation with the suitcase in the trunk of their Volkswagen Passat. There was a tribal proto- col they needed to follow to determine where the belongings would end up. They consulted Lakota spiritual leaders and cul- tural experts, participated in a ceremony surrounding the clothing and consulted other Spotted Tail rela- tives. Some were skeptical about the story from the Newells; others wanted to see the items kept with the :tinily. John Spotted Tail favored putting them in a nuseun,, where visitors mild 'cam about the La- kota leader. For several years, he kept the suitcase in his home, but the responsi- bility began to weigh on him. "1t was hard to even leave home or go any- where because they we here," John Spotted Tail said. He and his wife called the South Dakota State Historical Society in Pierre, where curators wanted to feature the century -and -a - half old heirlooms promi- nently and assured them that they would be well preserved. And the mu- seum was ass than a two- hour drive from the reser- vation, making it acces- sible to local relatives who wanted to visit. The suitcase, and the story of how it got here, was a historical society directoe's dream. The director, Ben Jones, looked through old pho- tographs and read Newell's writings to try to find evi- dence indicating that the Lakota chief had given the one-time Indian agent su ch a significant gift. None surfaced, but it was clear that the two men had crossed paths, living in the same area for a couple of years and navigating the confect around the U.S. government's westward expansion. In May, the Spotted Tails formally transferred the suitcase and its contents to the historical society at a ceremony involving Lakota prayers at a middle school in Pierre. The museum is hoping to put the heir- looms on display late next year.
