The Denver Museum of Nature & Science shared a letter shared with members that said the North American Indian Cultures Hall perpetuates a “white, dominant culture” and will be shuttered this summer.

“We understand that the Hall reinforces harmful stereotypes and white, dominant culture.”
I guess Indian history and culture are something to be ashamed of now????
Look at the bright side. A couple of insanely Woke / Leftist museum workers will be unemployed and have to find jobs at McDonalds.
By attempting to destroy "White, dominant culture", the left is working hard to destroy prosperity, tolerance, power, and success.
Cool! So the Woke have got black faces off of store shelves, and are now getting indians out of museums!
Remove the Indian, keep the land. Typical.
I always found American Indians and their culture part of Americana. Love their unique art, color and mystique.
I guess we will hear no more of them now. They will be wiped and folded into the New World Odor.
Looks like a lot of that White Supremacy going on, there.
Isn’t this the textbook definition of “erasure” of a culture under the guise of being “sensitive” to that culture? What a joke.
Were they showing past episodes of the Lone Ranger, with Tonto and Cisco?
Facts don’t matter. All that matters is the political statement the people who run this museum are making.
I’ll bet the closing was decided by plain old Americans with no Indian background. This self-loathing is killing us.
We can have exhibits about Indian culture and we can appreciate it, without feeling guilty about actions that took place in the past.
Fast forward 200 years in the future, when White American culture has been suppressed, when the only remaining Whites are old and gray, and the dominant culture is a mixture of what biden is bringing in now and the muslims who are already here. Do you think that ANYBODY will give a rat’s burp about the Whiteys whose culture they will have overrun?
Will they get upset over all those Whitey names for cities, buildings, parks? NAH. They’ll appreciate the works of our hands, even as they heap scorn upon us and our graves.
Maybe show them for a change, what a “white dominated culture” actually looks like. In fact, show me anywhere in popular culture where whites “dominate”.
The Left is erasing American Indians from history and culture.
I think “Black History Month” perpetuates a white, dominant culture too. It’s very problematic...
That was then. This is now:
The hall was created in the 1970s in collaboration with Indigenous White supremacists.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
Indeed.
One can wager money that the ONLY PEOPLE who didn’t ask for it to be closed were the Indians.
