Seven scrolls sacred to the Ojibwa of Hollow Water, Manitoba, have recently been found at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. When the Indian Act banned native ceremonies, many of the scrolls were destroyed. But an American anthropologist who visited the Ojibwa in the 1930s took some with him and they ended up being purchased by the Smithsonian.
