Children at my son’s Spanish immersion preschool in Chicago bore witness to a teacher being violently assaulted by ICE agents who entered their school, armed with weapons, earlier this month. Miss Diana was abducted by ICE on the morning of November 5 as she prepared to start her shift for the day.

Anyway, suppose you want to read about the reasons why Indigenous nations might be a wee bit touchy about folks like Dr. Weiss getting their hands on Indigenous remains.
In that case, my book "Decolonized Afterlife" SHOULD be out next year via Peter Lang Press and I highly recommend it. :-)

What about the part where you wrote an entire book calling Indigenous peoples anti-science, said that ethics review boards were "stifling knowledge creation", and wrote a bunch of social media posts essentially poking fun at Indigenous cultural sensitivities?
How does that help anthropologists?
