I'm trying to read between the lines hear and figure out how E.P.'s
statement suggests that a piece of the Williamette meteorite
(available at auction soon) makes it stolen property. Could it be
that he's trying to revive the issue that the meteorite originally
belonged to the local (native) people because they were the REAL
landowners? If that is the case, then everything between Manhattan
Island and San Diego belongs to the native American Indians. Or, did
they displace some other civilizations after they walked across the
Bering Strait?
Who really owns anything? Whoever the courts decide it belongs to,
don't you think?
Best,
John Gwilliam

Hi Pete, all -
If I remember correctly, the meteorite was considered
a sacred relic by the local people, but the European
settlers hacked off pieces, and then the bulk of it
was hauled off by wagon and sold.
