"In December, President Biden signed an executive order directing new support for tribal self-governance."
How could this being intentional and orchestrated be any more clear?
An ossuary? Like the catacombs beneath Paris?
Its normal for the rest of the world, to stack bones, we have always had room to waste. At least one of your ancestors is likely stacked somewhere, it just isnt in recent enough memory for it to be normal for you.
How many of these Indian artifacts can be reliably connected to a particular tribe? Over time different tribes occupied a particular part of the country, so the tribe there when the whites showed up were not necessarily the makers of the items that ended up in the museum.
Erasing native American history continues.
Statues and monuments too.
Heh.
Howard Zinn is such a commie that even regular liberals think he’s not a serious historian.
Not at all like an ossuary or catacombs. I mean a shelf in a storage room. One that is not in anyway where bones were laid with prayers and respect. But stacked like any other object to be studied and catalogued by museum staff.
I think you can declare your sacred land tax exempt if you graze cattle on it.
I doubt the Indians viewed every object as sacred. But if they want them back that is up to them. Though I hope they see the value of making objects that tell their history and culture available to museums and other such places.
I think maybe it is a reference to when copper was first used to coin pence.
If these exhibits are closed, that will contribute to the general public’s ignorance about Native Americans!
So... Instead of using replicas like many museums do to make sure the real thing is safe, they just close the exhibits?
Great.
Doesn’t matter. The statement referenced is correct.
Again, I know he’s been a horror for young American minds.
This touches on the larger point, as to how all of us handle liberals in our families and personal lives. Do we let them spew forth their pablum, without question or challenge, or do we call them out on their ideology? Have any of us caused any of them to rethink their blind adherence to their liberal talking points?
I got every one of my in-laws to change their mindset! Of course, Obama’s actions (after they took their union recommendations and voted for that idiot) helped me! LOL!
For the most part, my in-laws have been very respectful to me because I am one of the very few people in their family who spent time in the military.
We were always respectful in our disagreements, but Obama got contracts canceled, lost union jobs, and generally screwed up lots of their lives...that’s when they finally saw the light!
I recently read that genetic mutation studies of contemporary Native Americans date First Arrival at just 13,000 to 15,000 years ago.
On the other hand, human artifacts - tools, jewelry, foot prints - appear to date back to the 22,000 to 25,000 time period.
Lots of good arguments for both periods.
And, lots of good questions, too.
Questions like - did the most recent Natives wipe out the original Natives with violence and/or disease?
No more white man money.
