as an Indigenous person, as an archaeologist, as someone who works with other people’s ancestors where laws like NAGPRA don’t even exist. so excuse my language but that book is so fucked up. it is bullshit. there is not an iota of valuable thought in those pages.

that it was published at all, terrifies me about the state of archaeology. and we must stand against it, an interdisciplinary community of scholars and fieldworkers and educators MUST vociferously object to this threat to Indigenous sovereignty, spirituality, life, and death.

Replying to @lenofi
this is like the Kennewick Man all over again. What the fuck? I am so angry that was published, once again Indigenous people are just trampled all over and placed in opposition to arch/anthro/science when that is a false dichotomy invented by these guys.

Newfoundland spent idek how long trying to get the remains of the Beothuk people back from Scotland and I don't even know if they got the "artefacts" back along with the peoples' remains and it was only AFTER the federal government got involved. Like this is grotesque.
