Destroying knowledge and history.

Now, watch someone not bother to read the fine print, and complain that to close these Indian Artifact museums is ‘an outrageously racist attempt to hide that heritage from the public!”

[DesertRhino]

Why does the Federal Government have ANY say in the display of artifacts if a museum owns them?

In perpetuity, does everything an Indian makes or touches remain under their idiotic domain forever?

Sodom on the Potomac needs to be completely upended and scattered to the winds.

Wore fur. Burned wood in order to try and be warm. Killed animals and ate meat.

All, prohibited by The Party.

>> federal regulations limiting the display of cultural items

”The halls we are closing are artifacts of an era when museums such as ours did not respect the values, perspectives and indeed shared humanity of Indigenous peoples” — Sean Decatur, the museum’s president

You could make that argument for every anthropological artifact in every museum around the world!

Annnndd… they’re gone.

[mass55th]

Why don’t they just close their doors entirely since they’re so worried about offending everyone and everything.

They are not “indigenous.”

Just making room for the St. George Floyd exhibit.

This is just INSANE!

I loved those halls when I was a kid and they used to have FREE programs, on Saturdays, with films and lectures (by actual EXPERTS and some for real Indians), for children, That were very interesting,well informed, educational, and which NEVER put Indians in a bad light.

This stupid WOKE crap is just disgusting and stupid!

I wonder what they are going to do, or rather have done, to the very little ( back in the late '40s-1950s) attended Indian Museum, in Washington Heights. It was there, that I learned all about N.Y. Indian tribes using animal guts to stuff/make sausages in; amongst other fascinating things.

[nopardons]

The damned WOKERY( wokerie? ), all over the Western World, are trying to do just that!

[21twelve]

My kids learned the Indians invented casinos.

[EinNYC]

I’m glad I saw those exhibits years ago, before libtardism took over NYC.

When a friend who was visiting from Redding, California observed our young daughter’s school project diorama — a rendition of diverse Native American dwellings such as teepees, adobes, etc., he said, “Don’t forget the Pit River Indians.”

She said, “What did they live in?”

He said, “Today a lot of them live in abandoned cars.”
