Jeff Painter asked for suggestions as to how to locate an Arapahoe
sacred medicine wheel bundle that was seen in a museum in the
Chicago area.

I suggest that you contact Dr. Jonathan Haas who is the
Vice President for Collections and Research at the Field
Museum of Natural History and is also a member of the
seven person Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation
(NAGPRA) Review Committee (PL101-601).

Dr. Jonathan Haas
Field Museum of Natural History
Roosevelt Rd. and Lake Shore Dr.
Chicago, IL 60605
(312) 922-9410

Here is a reference to a paper by Haas in which he discusses
repatriation:

Do" about Repatriation of Items in Its Collections,
