National Museum of Anthropology

EDIT: For anyone outraged on here moaning about the display of shrunken heads and American Indian headdresses … 1) Not everything in museums today is stolen from indigenous people, or treated with disrespect by museum curators. 2)New WOKE outrage since the Biden/Trudeau Posse arguably stole their way to power - doesn’t give legitimacy to BLM plundering of Western owned possessions. 3) Legitimate trade and barter has been going on between different tribes for centuries … just because something suddenly increases in value, doesn’t give the indigenous sellers of their cultural heritage the ‘right’ to play the Race Card and force the new owner to hand it over … by claiming it was ‘stolen’ … unless proof from direct witnesses, that stands up in a Court of Law (not rumour or hearsay) … can prove theft. 4) Even then, indigenous tribes can petition to buy it back … for a commensurate modern day valuation … but only if the current owner wants to sell at an agreed price … and the value of conservation costs and safe storage are added to the price, will the item be returned on agreement.

5. Some people need to wake up and recognise culture is respected and preserved in museums where conservation and expertise in such preservation is paramount and sharing and education is a priority
6. Some indigenous tribal people wrapped up by spiritual obsession … sometimes miss the point of preserving important artefacts for wider knowledge.… They seem happy to bury important objects to rot in the ground rather than have them serve the interests of the tribe sometimes hundreds of years later and many miles away… giving their tribe significance and power in the wider World.

• Something the MSM narratives never seem to mention or understand.

Take the body of Ortzi … the iceman found on the Italian border ….who today can speak for his true spirit and desires?? … no one can … not even those living in the same valley/region today who share his genetic fingerprint. He might be looking down now and be delighted how many bored, ignorant tourists are being educated by learning how he lived, died, dressed, hunted, ate and tattooed himself. Ortzi never got such attention in his lifetime, when in his physical body … why bury him now to rot and be forgotten in a few years time? … Shrunken heads and bodies being reburied don’t necessarily put spirits to rest … most spirits have transitioned. 6) These protesters are often seeking attention, by pretending they know how a spirit feels…. 🙄 6) It’s also important not to whitewash the crimes of indigenous tribes and their racism … that head-hunted and scalped white folks for hundreds of years … what about compensation for those murders? Will the ancestors of these people be entitled to get their scalps back … reparations. … And what about all the handouts … is it time to give all European donations back?? Once you start on this slippery track … you will need to give parity to counter claims.

It’s slight hypocrisy to hear certain people across The Pond criticise European museum curators on ethics when they’re celebrating Ukraine Nazis applauded by Trudeau Parliamentarians. … and their religious factions were involved in ethnic and cultural cleansing of indigenous Indian tribes across the schools programmes of Canada and America for decades.🙄🤔
