A handwoven teepee cover crafted over two years by Sîpiskwêsîkan (Dustyhorn), stolen in 1926 and held at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., has been repatriated to Kawacatoose First Nation in Saskatchewan; community members including Chief Cory Dustyhorn retrieved it and held a ceremony with drumming and singing on the powwow grounds.
The artifact will remain at Kawacatoose for four days before transferring to the Royal Saskatchewan Museum.
