RESULTS FROM NO. 254: NATIVE SPIRIT

In Contest 254, we noted that many of the objects in the new National Museum of the American Indian tell the stories of ancestors and that a group of curators met in a town northeast of Halifax and south of Chaswood, Canada. Congratulations to Jim Neary of Annandale for divining the town of Elderbank.
