Makes me ill to listen to this. Any and all universities, museums and other such institutions need to stop this sort of behavior and help pay for the repatriation of all body parts. Let them be buried in their home countries with honor and respect.
This is sadly another example in the long line of disrespect shown to the living and dead bodies of minorities in Americas history. I learned recently the man called the grandfather of gynecology, practiced his surgeries on enslaved women, without the aid of pain relief, and without consent.
Check the 1904 worlds Fair where different indigenous people from countries where the white man had occupied where brought in and where placed in an area that was called the Human ZOO. There are several grim stories that came out of the worlds fair.

This is unethical and a valuation of their Human rights!
Devaluation

It's not like the Smithsonian was disemboweling living humans and eating their heart for courage or anything like that.
They also have white samples.
@@amrita3000saying that doesnt justify their actions. Tssk.
@@ddoseofmemes It shows clearly this is not racism. Disrespectful to all, not just to non whites.
This is an amazing work! Great job The Post
Can someone tell me this isn't EVIL

Is there an Abby Normal there?
The fact that this is so low key is upsetting to me
Not like they were collecting brains and body parts from live people.
True. But if they weren't doing anything wrong, why not notify the families? It's because they were treated as specimens, not people.
Excuses.
Colonial mindset. Absolutely dreadful.
Look what Atheism can do.
This hurt my brain
U really believe these people died with no foul play - cuz i don't
😢❤
I'm more curious about the giants The Smithsonian collects and hides from the public..
Then do a documentary about that.
NAH
