GREAT FALLS - What is believed to be a priceless collection of American Indian artifacts awaits a final destination.
"I'm currently holding a letter from Black Elk in my hand, and that's an experience I never expected to have happen," said the Flathead Gallery's Don Baughman, who was brought in to appraise the estate of the late David Humphreys Miller.
In the letter, the legendary Sioux chief wrote Miller that he would sponsor a Sun Dance and pray for his safe return from service in Germany during World War II.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Baughman said. "This morning I've been asking myself how I can put a value on something that's essentially priceless."
