Northwest tribe displays
artifacts loaned from London
Artifacts hidden
nearly 120 years
By GILLIAN FLACCUS
Associated Press
GRAND RONDE —
Tribal artifacts that have been
hidden away in the archives of
the British Museum in London
for nearly 120 years are being
returned to a Native American
tribe for an exhibit at its own
museum — a facility the tribe
expanded and upgraded in part
to reclaim these pieces central
to its complicated heritage.
The 16 objects will go on
display on a small Oregon res-
ervation after a decadeslong
campaign by the Confederated
Tribes of the Grand Ronde to
bring them back from Europe.
The intricate bowls, woven
baskets and other pieces were
collected by the Rev. Rob-
ert W. Summers, an Episco-
pal minister who bought them
from destitute tribal members
in the 1870s and sold them to a
colleague. The colleague later
gifted the objects to the British
institution.
The “Rise of the Collec-
tors “ exhibit, on display at
the Chachalu Tribal Museum
& Cultural Center in Grand
Ronde, also includes basketry
collected by Dr. Andrew Ker-
shaw, who worked on the res-
ervation in the 1890s as a doc-
tor and agent for the federal
Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Together, the two collec-
tions are part of a larger plan
by the Grand Ronde to reclaim
and examine its history for
future generations — a mis-
sion that echoes efforts by
other tribes around the U.S.
Two years ago, a Parisian auc-
tion house withdrew a cere-
monial shield from an auction
after the Acoma Pueblo, a tribe
in rural New Mexico, moved
to halt its sale. And tribes from
Alaska to Connecticut have
used a U.S. law passed in 1990
to reclaim Native American
remains and sacred or funer-
ary objects.
The Confederated Tribes
of the Grand Ronde wanted
the objects back permanently
but worked out an initial year-
long loan because a full return
of items from the British
Museum requires parliamen-
tary action, said David Harrel-
son, manager of the tribe’s cul-
tural resources department.
The tribe never made a
formal request to have the
objects repatriated and instead
chose to work with the Euro-
pean institution. The tempo-
rary exhibit is regarded as a
first step to more collaboration
between the Grand Ronde and
the British Museum.
“It’s a real privilege to be a
part of this, where this material
heritage is coming back to this
community,” said Amber Lin-
coln, curator of the Americas
section of the British Museum.
She and a colleague traveled to
Oregon with the objects.
“This is what we work for,
to bring people together … so
that we all learn.”

By JACK HEFFERNAN
The Daily Astorian
A Seaside man pleaded not
guilty Tuesday to a kidnapping
charge stemming from a police
chase last week.
Timothy Jerome Licari, 32,
was arrested in May after he
allegedly stole someone’s car
and drove away from police with
the person still inside. He was
indicted last week on charges of
second-degree kidnapping, coer-
cion, unauthorized use of a vehi-
cle, two counts of attempting to
elude and reckless driving.
The kidnapping charge car-
ries a minimum of roughly
six years in prison if Licari is
convicted. If convicted of all
charges, he faces a maximum of
27 years.
Licari is scheduled for
another court hearing later this
month. Bail has been set at
$250,000.

John R. Alcantara - Funeral Director represent something of value, the only thing that
makes sense, (from a professional perspective) is
that it’s a way to differentiate a storefront funeral
provider (which is essentially an office & sometimes
a showroom) from a traditional funeral home/
mortuary. This model began a couple of decades
ago, as an alternative for those who were looking for
direct cremation (without a funeral service) whereby
the majority of work is done by 3rd party contractors
(sometimes in other cities & states) . However, just as
advertising advocates association & representation as

SALEM — State auditors
touted their work investigating
food stamp fraud on Tuesday.
They say their efforts resulted
in convictions for five mer-
chants committing food stamp
fraud; $1.7 million in avoided
future costs; and $525,000 in
court-ordered restitution.
Forty recipients received
a yearlong ban, and 59 peo-
ple were banned from the pro-
gram permanently as a result
of auditors’ efforts, they say.
Since 2013, auditors have
been using new data analyt-
ics techniques and mapping
software to identify merchants
with a high risk of fraud.

recede. Just like a leg in a cast for several
months getting no stimulation, then
removing the cast and seeing a withered
leg, the dental jaw bone is stimulated by
the function of the teeth and the forces of
chewing. When teeth are removed this
stimulation is lost and for many denture
wearers the bone will shrink resulting
in a change of bone volume and a stable
denture fit. If your situation does require
loss of teeth or you now have dentures
ask about dental implants which can help
support dentures and minimize loss of
bone volume. Please contact our office at
503-325-0310 for an evaluation.
