I think we've found the *instigator* of this inquisition.
They're after Miller's arrowheads, spear and pottery collection.

The first article I saw said that there were 100 FBI agents on the job, and that determining the provenance of all the artifacts might take 30 years.

Instant make-work project. Perhaps this is how Obama is addressing the unemployment problem.

“Even if the items were purchased legally, the Indians believe they still belong to them. The FBI “Art Crimes Unit” is examining everything”

They never belonged to them in the first place! The owners are all long dead.

Just think how easy it is to collect antiques the native American way. Heck, I think I'll complain to the FBI “Art crimes unit” about all the cool Norwegian Viking stuff that's been dug up and is being displayed in some Europeans homes. ! That's miiiiine!
