I’m more Irish than a lot of the local “Indians” are Indian, and I take offense at them appropriating my culture in their casinos.

Cowards and fools! I learned a lot about American Indians from going to museums, including this one and subscribed to Natural History magazine for decades.
They changed over the years and hired an open MARXIST Stephen Jay Gould to do a lot of their columns writing.
Should is listed as a member of the Advisory Board of “Rethinking Marxism”, Summer 1990, Volume 3, Number 2.
“The aim of Rethinking Marxism is to stimulate interest in and debate over the explanatory power and social consequences of Marxian economic, cultural and social analysis”. Inside front cover page.
Hope this helps explain a small part of the thinking of leftist New York State and others regarding museum collections which help to introduce people to differing cultures.
21. Spelchek screwed up the second spelling of Gould’s name, changing it to Should or something like that.
Bodies and skulls should be left alone, but other artifacts should be allowed, except for sacred items. My Indian husband agrees with me. These displays are educational.
Just wait until the dinosaur community gets wind of this! They will want those sacred ancestor dinosaur bones to be given a proper burial. Having them on display for Homo Sapiens to ogle them is downright disrespectful!
👍👍👍👍👍

You and me both. I took my kids there a couple of times in the late 70's. We took the train to the City, stayed in a hotel, and walked around, hit Macy's, Lord & Taylor, etc. My sons are in their 50's now.
Indians got smart. White man took all their land. Now they take all the white man's money.
I just looked up the name. Not sure if it's the same one. He was a paleontologist, worked at the museum, but died of cancer in 2002. Is there a later Stephen Jay Gould. I'm assuming he was related to Jay Gould, railroad magnate, speculator, "robber baron."
Fun Fact: I'm currently reading a book published in 1968 titled: "The Great Dinosaur Hunters and Their Discoveries" by Edwin H. Colbert. Pretty interesting book.
Good....if my culture is being destroyed then so should others....George Orwell would feel smug since he predicred all of this..
I am confused by the fact that Natives are working so hard to be erased from American life.
I would be proud, if my artifacts were exposed in major museum!
I would be proud, if the Cleveland baseball team were named after my heritage!
I would be proud, if a beautiful picture of girl in my country dress were on a butter package!
Somebody can enlighten me?
And because this WAS a program...I'll bet there are a lot of Museums that have done the same.
They are upset because someone wants to land on the Moon because Native Americans consider the Moon sacred and they want everyone in the world to be utterly mindful, respectful and obedient to their culture.
How is that knowledge of their ‘culture’ to be promulgated if not by museums and other public venues that showcase it? Word of mouth? THEIR word and lore that can get twisted with any political wind of the day?
Italian-heritage Americans should demand that all the Italian art be returned to Italy.
“These displays are educational”
Room is needed for TODAY’S Indigenous people crossing Eagle Pass’ border.
(Plus room for ME terrorists).
Pontiacs, Gran Cherokees....
