After the mass killing at Wounded Knee, the American Museum of Natural History received children’s toys taken from the site. A 1990 law was meant to “expeditiously return” such items to Native Americans, but descendants are still waiting.

    When Christian Nationalists pearl clutch about children, know they’re absolutely capable of doing as their ancestors in the past when it comes to occupation and are full of shit. That 6 year old who got stabbed for being Palestianian…

      Let’s be clear here. No sane person would do that. You have to be seriously damaged upstairs to do such thing.

    What’s the difference between a genocide and an archeology dig? 100 years, apparently

          To argue otherwise is mere folly

      Im actually sympathetic to your sentiment when it comes to the land they lived on, but definitely not when it’s applied to historical artifacts which are culturally significant to them.

        And for peoples of whom the land is culturally significant for them?

        I think any sane person would care more about having somewhere to live than their grandparents old trinkets.

          I think wining about land that was conquered (as well as who’s inhabitants populations would’ve been decimated by disease upon contact with Europeans either way) very similarly to other places throughout history doesn’t have much merit. I’m sympathetic to tribes who have had their sacred land promised to them and taken away (like the Black Hills). In terms of what American Indians are entitled to have back, I think cultural artifacts have a stronger argument than land, regardless of what they care about more.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
