Congrats on a very well written fictional short story. Perhaps the world would be better off if the assholes would inform everyone that they are assholes to save us the anticipation of having to confer our belief that they are by waiting for them to be super assholes just to justify our standards of morality or bias. But just as was noted, an asshole is an asshole anywhere. Also, i would like to say that i really, really believe that you are exactly the person that needs to address the new regs having to do with NAGPRA by heading some sort of coalition to address the situation the BIA has created for Archeologist and institutions alike. You have a very eloquent way with words and wisdom not afforded to most. The whole situation reeks of a smelly can of crawlers thats been in the fridge too long. But the lid has been lifted and only those of your like intellect have the forethought and position to tackle the situation head on which i believe you sort of attested to when you brought it to our attention. I certainly didnt know of the extremes and nor do i believe did or do most. Undoubedly your a very busy person but i know of no other that could call on them to make their rules clear and their justifications even clearer. Ive been a lifelong champion of Native Americans and i wholheartedly agree that these new rules damage what so many have tried to improve. Again, great fictional story, thanks for the read.
Thanks for kind words Ron! I'm doing my small part to raise awareness about the new regulations. It's just going to take more archaeologists and sympathetic Native communities speaking up about their concerns and seeking leadership positions that can influence the process. That or a big lawsuit I suppose. Thanks for doing what you can in your corner of the heritage management landscape.
