A bit of the history behind this initiative:
Between 1854 and 1902, an archeologist was hired by four museums to collect artifacts which included skeletal remains of Coastal Indians.
Artifacts and remains were subsequently re-located to a number of museums in North America and Europe.
Cora Jacks has spent the past five years researching the history of the Tseycum people. During her research she identified the remains of 55 Coast Salish people in New York and potentially 79 others in Chicago.
