"Last month Toph and I went on vacation to Juneau, Alaska. I walked up to look
at the glacier, but mostly we just enjoyed the view and the cool weather. But
there were some surprises.
One day we took a cab downtown, and our driver, Edwell John, asked where we
were visiting from, as cab drivers do. We said we were from Philadelphia, and
he told us he had visited Philadelphia himself.
“I was repatriating Native artifacts,” he said.
Specifically, he had gone to the University of Pennsyvania Museum, to take back
the Killer Whale Dagger named
Keet Gwalaa. This is a two foot long dagger
that was forged by Tlingit people in the 18th century from meteorite steel."
