Canucks shut out Rangers 5-0

First Posted: 12/9/2013 (AP) A French auction house has ignored an urgent request by the U.S. Embassy to delay a sale of dozens of sacred Hopi masks.
EVE auctioneers say Monday's sale of 32 artifacts, which the Hopis say represent their ancestors' spirits, will go ahead despite a plea from the Embassy on Saturday that the sale be delayed to give the concerned tribes time to travel and identify the artifacts.
"The Hopi tribe was able to argue their case before a judge (last week) and was rebuffed," said a statement from the auction house.
The auction house says it had exchanged letters with the San Carlos Apache tribe whose objects are included in the sale alongside a Zuni tribe altar, and Native American frescoes and dolls.
