<p class="MsoNormal">Hello friends and colleagues, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been in touch with a donor in Maple Ridge who has some items that may be Indigenous belongings. She doesn’t know anything about their history or origins, but didn’t want to just give them away if they have significance and connection
to a Nation who would like them, or to whom they belong.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We don’t have that expertise to make this assessment or offer any ideas, but I wanted to be in touch in case anyone would like to contact her, or have some information to pass along to her as she re-homes these items.
