Just reaching out to artifact collectors everywhere to invite you to my late Father’s Estate Auction coming on the weekend of May 4[SUP]th[/SUP], 2019 at the Holiday Inn & Suites in Lakeville, Minnesota. There will also be a preview on evening of May 3[SUP]rd[/SUP]. The artifacts were found, preserved, and passed down multiple generations from my late Grandparents, Howard & Kathryn Loitwood of Gettysburg, SD. It is believed that this could be the largest auction of Native American Artifacts in history in the United States, with over 10,000 artifacts that will be sold. (bids in person/by proxy/on phone only – no internet bidding) My Dad passed away in 2018 and this is part of his estate.

This collection is really special, as most of the artifacts are Arikara, the tribe featured in the 2015 Academy Award Winning Movie “The Revenant”, starring Leonard Dicaprio, based on the true story of Hugh Glass, who was eventually killed by the Arikara. We are fairly certain that Leonardo will have a buyer there as well. Here’s the link to the auction with all the information about the auction, as well as pictures of most of the artifacts.
