Modern day book burning. NAGPRA and Erasing the past
Earlier this year NAGPRA was updated and massively expanded, and it's now being used to erase all ancient American history. I realize this is a bold claim, but it's 100% true and backed up with sources the largest information purge of my lifetime has already quietly happened.
https://www.youtube.com/live/j-58H4_TWWc?si=OhGLHg6iXnNOuXxp
This video covers what is happening with NAGPRA fairly in depth. In a few weeks I'll be having on Archeologist Elizabeth Weiss to talk about the dangers of NAGPRA further.
I cannot stress enough just how extreme this law is and how much information is being removed. An entire nations history has been made illegal!
