4 AAC 58.150 - Ownership of artifacts
(a) All artifacts accessioned into the
collection of the Alaska State Museum are presumed to be owned solely and
completely by the state unless the accessioning documents provide for a
different ownership.
(b) Except for
a claim filed under 25
U.S.C. 3001 -
3013 (Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act), a person who claims ownership of an artifact
in the collection of the Alaska State Museum may petition the senior curator of
collections of the museum for a determination of ownership. A petition must
identify all evidence in support of the claimant's claim, and must state
whether the claimant seeks to have the artifact deaccessioned and returned to
the claimant. The senior curator of collections for the Alaska State Museum
shall investigate the claim, and may interview witnesses and request that the
claimant provide additional evidence. Not later than 60 days after receipt of
the claim, the senior curator of collections shall issue a written decision on
the ownership of the object. If requested by the senior curator of collections,
the chief curator of the Alaska State Museum may grant a 30-day extension of
time to complete the investigation. If the senior curator of collections
determines that clear and convincing evidence supports the claimant's claim,
the senior curator of collections shall issue a determination of ownership in
favor of claimant. The claimant may use the determination to support a petition
for deaccession to the Museum Collections Advisory Committee established under
AS
14.57.020.
