Museums should not fear repatriation from Native Americans and foreign entities if their collections have been derived ethically and legally in the universal sense. Because a museum represented a colonial power and collected because of its colonial domination status that museum does not ethically or legally own those objects. If a collection was made with informed consent and title was transferred then the museum owns those objects. An example of uninformed consent was the recent case of "Sue" the T. rex. Commercial collectors, knowing the value of a single bone found would offset their payment to the land owner; deceived the land owner and tried to make off with a multi-million dollar specimen under the guise of making it the center piece of their museum. I imagine that bonafide museums have many items that have been stolen by unscrupulous or overzealous collectors. We cannot hide behind the premise that returning these items to their rightful owners will disrupt our practice of museology.
