If they were artifacts from some ancient American civilization...that had NO ties with the civilization that is in America now, but were important to the ENTIRE world: then YES, I would think it was best to let the world see and enjoy it. The vast majority of Egypts artifacts are never seen; they sit in vaults. Remember that the people you want these artifacts returned to are also decended from the people that DESTROYED the vast majority of the ancient civilization that made those artifacts. The pyramids were originally covered in marble...marble that was torn off of them to be used by the NEW civilization for it's temples and monuments.
