Raven Helmet Returns to Alaska Native Clan

In a historic move, the Alaska State Museums agree to return a sacred Raven helmet to the Kiks.ádi clan, marking a significant step towards healing and reconciliation. The helmet, once worn by a warrior during battles against Russian colonists, has been in a museum since 1906. The clan leaders argue that such items cannot be given away without the entire clans approval, considering them cultural patrimony. This repatriation signifies a shift in relationships between Indigenous people and institutions, offering hope for the return of other sacred items and a future free from cultural trauma.
