A detail of at antique tribal mask, Tumas Crow Mother, circa 1880, revered as a sacred ritual artifact by a Native American tribe in Arizona is displayed at an auction house in Paris April 11, 2013. The Hopi Tribe, living in a dozen scattered villages on a northeastern Arizona reservation, wrote to auctioneer Neret-Minet Tessier & Sarrou last month asking it to cancel its planned sale of 70 objects including the sacred Katsinam masks, and asked for their return. The Hopi, some of whose 18,000 members continue to follow a traditional way of life farming on three isolated mesas, believe the bright, mostly fabric masks are imbued with the spirits of divine messengers, and they want them returned.
