We are all getting tired and frazzeled right now...but,
I have had much cause to read & re-read the NAGPRA law & draft regs.
There is no mention of producing a receipt of legal tender. No examples
of documentation 'proof' are given in the law/regs. The claimant must
present proof the Museum does NOT own the item, then the Museum has a
chance to respond. No standard is set for documentation proof by either
side. We don't really know yet what "evidence standing alone" "support a
finding the museum does not have a right of possession" means. Cool
head, main thing!
(a receipt of legal tender could be a receipt for buying stolen property)
