The skull of Native woman that was taken to show-and-tell in 1984 was finally repatriated to the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde in Oregon.
A 7-year-old boy brought the skull to school and said he got it from a friend. It turns out the friend's father had worked at the former Albany College, whose mascot was once a skull and crossbones.
Authorities reopened the investigation and returned the skull to the tribe earlier this week.
