    Stolen Hopi Masks: Sacred or property?

    Stolen Hopi masks were sold at a Paris auction house today. The question was are the Hopi masks sacred or property? Bonus points for the those who can guess what happened.

    I wonder...is it only legal for "white" ppl to sell stolen culture? Anyone want to pay me more than dollar for a dollar?

    When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it—always.

      Sacred and property, just depends upon who you're asking.

          Hopis say it was stolen, don't know about the proof part either. They should of had video cameras 200 yrs ago.

            It's much more likely a Hopi did the robbing than what you're implying.

              IC, maybe. I thought what I was implying was more plausible. But yea, I can't really say. Perhaps I'm trusting too much into the story.

              So I need a "white" guy to sell me stolen goods from a "white" guy and its all good in the hood.
