Artefacts in Glasgow’s museum collection taken from the site of a massacre of hundreds of Native Americans in 1890 are set to be returned to their descendants.
Items, including a pair of moccasins and a necklace, were taken after the Wounded Knee Massacre in South Dakota, USA. They were sold or donated to Glasgow by George Crager, the interpreter for performers at the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show in Dennistoun.
The city has received a request for the repatriation of the artefacts as well as bronzes looted from Nigeria and a ceremonial sword stolen from India. Councillors will be asked to agree to returning items at a meeting on Thursday.
