In 1979, the CAA passed a set of resolutions objecting to the act (Loy 1979) The most contentious one instructed members of the CAA who were serving as expert examiners to express opposition by approving all export permit applications referred to them, declaring archaeological objects to have no market value, and alerting the public of the imminent export of these objects. This strategy was ineffective, resulting in the export of two seated human figurine stone bowls from British Columbia (see Bernick 1983, 1984a, 1985). The resulting media attention was not positive toward the CAAs position, and the federal government threatened to ban the CAAs members as expert examiners. In 1984 the CAA's official position changed, and members were not bound to approve export permits for archaeological artifacts (Bernick 1984b; Burley 1984) in 1993, a seated human figurine stone bowl was purchased under provisions of the act by the Simon Fraser University Museum of Ethnology and Archaeology, in trust for the Saanich Native Heritage Society, as the only legal to prevent its export from Canada (Winter lyy5). this highlighted the fact that archaeological objects have special significance to First Nations communities and their interests are not represented in the export review process (Winter and Henry 1997)
