Question

3.) What evidence does Harjo present to refute the claim that housing skeletal remains of Native Americans in museums is necessary for medical research and may benefit living Indians?

Answer 1

Answer:

Suzan Shown Harjo in her essay "Last Rites of Indian Dead" criticizes the practices of medical research done on American Indians by the United States.

Explanation:

Harjo discusses that certain laws should be implemented by the Government of the States in order to stop such practices of medical research on American Indians, as they are not the piece of display to be put up in museums or personal collections. She says that such practices are raecial against the Native Americans and the Americans.

"Indians remains are still being collected for raecial biological studies. While the intentions may be honorable, the ethics of using human remains this way without the full consent of relatives must be questioned. "
