SPOKANE -- A major milestone today for local Native American tribes, the justice department returned hundreds of artifacts.
Investigators recovered them from a collector who had illegally bought and sold them, and getting them back to their rightful owners doesn’t happen that often.
Even though there were a lot of things returned, there’s a lot more that the tribes may never see.
This is a case of grave robbing, hundreds of artifacts, stolen from sites all over Eastern Washington and North Idaho.
