About two dozen artifacts have been returned as part of a federal amnesty program that ends next month..
Some of items include a 300- to 500-year-old canteen from Jemez Pueblo, a 1,000-year-old Puebloan pot and a 300-year-old Navajo pot. The Department of Justice will work on returning the items to tribes.
The program was announced in May for the states of Arizona, Colorado, New
Mexico and Utah. More information on the Four Corner Amnesty Initiative can be
