[Daniel and Hailey run to hide in a closet.] Ew! No! I'm not hiding in here with a skeleton! Wait, did he die here?? I don't want to die here!
I was just saying, if you’re going in and taking artifacts from indigenous cultures and refusing to give them back, it’s basically the same mindset as colonialism. Right? Like, they’re in your museum. You're saying you own them. Do you know how many contested artifacts are in the British Museum alone? Or bones? Berkeley and Harvard both have thousands of Native American remains that they refuse to give back. These are people’s ancestors and a bunch of white guys are like, “nope, we own these.” Some of them were originally collected by eugenicists to prove that Native American craniums were inferior to white craniums. Honestly, I’m surprised you don’t already know this.
