This meme is absolutely correct, which is why it makes me so happy that that California is making real strides in repatriating looted ancestor graves and cultural items with CalNAGPRA. Thousands have been returned to tribes, sometimes to be cared for locally, sometimes reburied, and sometimes the tribe maintains ownership but allows the university/museum to display it. Ie, the same fucking rights they should have had from the beginning. It’s about half a century late, but at least it’s finally getting underway.
