My capstone documents the process of returning a non-Native family’s collection of Native American belongings back to the Tribes. The collection of 70 objects and 461 photo negatives was amassed by my step-grandfather during his employment with the Indian Field Service in 1938–42. In a 6,000-word written narrative, I describe the methodology that I followed toward returning the collection, and I discuss the practical and ethical entanglements raised in the undertaking of this project. This case study of repatriation documents one small step toward dismantling historical systems of oppression and exploitation, and investing in a future of Indigenous self-determination.
