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.

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.

fun story i gave a talk about archaeology at my local library in pittsburgh on behalf of my museum and in addition to other racist nonsense about my surname and skin, i was yelled at by old white men about kennewick man. i was ready to get fired setting that fool straight.
