with what you have found.
I myself would do it because I wouldn't want someone finding things
of my tribe and having it for their own. Yes even if the land was "bought"
but in my ancestors and my self the land was taken.
Its just respect, not a bad thing to say what you got its not that your trying to sell
the items. You just want to know. I would love to see picts if you had them.

Hey:
I am Cherokee, descendents of the 'creek' native americans. We were once known as 'creek indians' but are Cherokee Native Americans.
I grew up on a rez in NC. If you could post pics... I could maybe tell you what you have and the time period from which it came. I have alot of stuff I saved from the rez too if you want to see it. Eagle's claws, talons, hatchets, rabbit furs and of course, arrow heads. lol Oh.., and yes, a peace pipe. My most priced possession!
Lets look at our items! It'll be fun!

The HUGE sharks tooth, I too found on the rez. I dont know how or why but it was there. It is SO BIG that it is larger than a mans hand. Makes a mans hand look small. HUGE! Amazing!

If you show them to a tribal office, museum, or archaeologist DO NOT!!!! tell them who you are or where you got them. Unscrupulous tribal members or other authorities may try to seize your land or force you into protracted legal proceedings.
Be very careful.
