Bones of Contention

"The remains of more than 10,000 Native Americans unearthed at archaeological sites across the U.S. are in the possession of museums such as the Smithsonian. Is the analysis of the bones valid scientific research, or is it a desecration of Native American culture? This program focuses on the tensions between scientists, historians, and museum curators and Native American groups, as the bones take on a central role in a war of alternate perspectives. In examining this debate, the program provides an excellent survey of Native American archaeology in the U.S."--FMG on Demand website.

  • "Viracocha features mestizos and campesinos in the Andean highlands interacting within a near-subsistance economic system. Market days and fiestas provide opportunities for Spanish-speaking mestizos, alternately benign and abusive, to assert their traditional social dominance over the Aymara and Quechua campesinos."
  • "Documentaire. Les restes de plus de 10 000 Amérindiens sur les sites archéologiques découverts à travers les États-Unis sont en la possession de musées tels que le Smithsonian. Ces ossements sont devenus le centre d'une guerre qui oppose les scientifiques, les historiens et les conservateurs de musée et les nombreux groupes amérindiens qui dénoncent la profanation de la culture amérindienne. Ce documentaire présente un examen impartial de la situation, et, ce faisant, fournit également une excellente étude de l'archéologie amérindienne aux Etats-Unis."
  • "There is concern in native American communities regarding respectful treatment of their ancestors. Laws have been passed which require native American skeletal remains held by museums and archaeologists to be catalogued and returned to the tribes to which they belonged. Scientists view this as a loss of knowledge. Some native Americans, such as the Omaha tribe in Nebraska, have worked with the local university to enable research into their ancestors for cultural and medical purposes before reburial. This has revealed information about the causes of modern health problems among Omaha people. However repatriation remains an area of emotion and conflict."@en
