The basis for Harjo's argument is that the removal of Native American remains is destructive to the environment, as shown in the last answer option.
<h2>Why does Harjo use this argument?</h2>
For Harjo, the Native American have already been heavily exploited by American society and this should not be repeated.
He believes that indigenous people should have peace and respect even after their death and therefore their mortal remains should not be used in research or displayed in museums.
