I was a part of an idigenous people's group that was in Japan for two weeks. There were the Hoopa(american Indian), the Maori from New Zealand, the Sammi of northern Norway and Sweden, and the Ainu along with Japanese were the host. When we were at your museum we left a gift. It was a miniature of the Hoopa Tribe's sacred cedar plank house, the xontah-nikyaw. Please e-mail me back. I hope that I am right in guessing that this was the same musuem. I am now the curator of the Hoopa Tribal Museum. I could explain many aspects and the history of the xontah-nikyaw that may have not been told when the miniature was gifted. Thank you for your time.
