Here is a news report from the Cherokee Phoenix. We need to be made aware that the American Indian wars still continue today but without firing shots. I hope this seller is located, tried and sentenced.

'Maine Indian scalps' offered on Craigslist

PORTLAND,
Maine (AP) — The FBI is investigating craigslist.com posts selling
"Maine Indian scalps" to "white people only" after the leader of the
Penobscot Indian Nation reported the matter to state and federal
officials.
The
Portland Press Herald reports the postings discussed six scalps and
related artifacts obtained by bounty hunters in the 1700s and came from
a private family collection.
The
posts, no longer accessible, included a Maine cell phone number and the
name, "Whitely Bradford." The phone was not accepting calls.
Federal
investigators and Penobscot leaders have proceeded under the assumption
that the scalps are legitimate. Penobscot Chief Kirk Francis says it's
a hard time for the tribe to look back on, and to be reminded of it so
blatantly — and then see someone profit from it — doesn't sit well.
