Former museum curator explains how he returned items to Native American tribes
Description
In museums across the U.S., you can see artifacts and human remains that belong to the native peoples who were here before our country existed. However, the latest federal regulations require museums and federal agencies to identify and return Native American remains and belongings. On today's episode of "Created Equal," we speak with Chip Colwell a curator of anthropology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science for 12 years, to discuss the movement to reconcile science and history with the delicate nature of native possessions.
