Sometime in the 20th century, two
cultural items were removed from
Wrangell, AK. One of the objects, a
S’aaxw (hat), was acquired by Axel
Rasmussen prior to his death in 1945. In
1948, it was acquired by the Portland
Art Museum (PAM). In 1955–56, the
PAM deaccessioned the object and sold
it to the Birmingham Museum of Art
(accession number 1956.48.26).
The other object, a Keet Koowaal
(Killerwhale with a Hole in its Fin), was
purchased by the Birmingham Museum
of Art in 2000 from Axis Gallery in NY
(accession number 2000.83). Axis
Gallery had purchased it in May 2000
from Mac Grimmer, who had purchased
it from Alan Steele in April 2000.
According to Axis Gallery, this object
was once in the collection of Patricia
Withof, and prior to that, it was in an
English private collection.
Based on consultation with the
Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida
Indian Tribes, the Birmingham Museum
of Art can reasonably show that these
objects of cultural patrimony are
culturally affiliated with the Tlingit and
Haida Indian Tribes.
Determinations Made by the
Birmingham Museum of Art
Officials of the Birmingham Museum
of Art have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(D),

• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there

between the objects of cultural
patrimony and the Central Council of
