The only information provided to the University of Nebraska State Museum (UNSM) concerning their provenience was that they share a geographical location of the Northwest Coast. On May 24, 2021, the UNSM obtained ownership of 1,355 objects from the Joslyn Art Museum (JAM). JAM had obtained ownership of this collection from the Omaha Public Library on December 10, 2020. Among these 1,355 objects were 13 cultural items—two sacred objects and 11 objects of cultural patrimony—from the Northwest Coast Region. The two sacred objects are one seal drag and one dew claw rattle. The 11 objects of cultural patrimony are three baskets, one spoon, three hooks, one slate adz, two harpoon heads, and one harpoon. In 1892, Harvey Shotwell donated a spirit canoe to UNSM. There only information accompanying this donation was that the item came from the Northwest Coast Region. This spirit canoe is a sacred object. On September 16, 2022, during consultation between the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians of Washington and the UNSM, tribal representatives identified the spirit canoe, the seal drag, and the dew claw rattle as sacred objects and the three baskets, the spoon, the three hooks, the slate adz, the two harpoon heads, and the harpoon as objects of cultural patrimony, and they also requested the repatriation of these 14 cultural items.
