Critiques

American Indians-Fredric Starr


I was struck by the early plundering of Native American graves by early collectors. If we now were able to excavate the sites we could have learned much more about the cultures. It’s a sad loss of valuable information regarding the Stone Age cultures of those before the people we now call Native Americans.
