An estate sale in Calgary has hundreds of Indigenous items, including pipes, moccasins, beadwork and regalia up for auction, and is prompting calls from Indigenous youth to repatriate the items. Frank Hall Appraisals and Estate Sales is handling the sale of the Frank Holt Collection. Matt Provost would like to see items from Frank Holt's collection returned to First Nations in the region. He said when it comes to repatriating traditional and cultural items, Indigenous people often have to reach out and put effort in to have them reclaimed. There are a few ceremonial pipes that are listed as part of the Holt collection on the auction site.
