in Epiphanies
Ok so thanks to my kid (he is a computer guy in IT for his job) for getting me where this come from, and getting this all organized. Hope you like it.
The reason I starting this topic is from here: https://forums.shipoffools.com/discussion/comment/735905/#Comment_735905
And this is what it says
Wanted to start it because of this: https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/piapot-repatriation-manitoba-museum-1.7630588 which is about a museum returning. It said this ""We ... understand the role of museums in harms of the past and the role of museums in housing the belongings of nations, some of which were acquired under duress, economic strain or under pressure,"
Some things were looted, some were given but in the way that it is hard not to give, like I give a police a commoration pin one time because he stopped me and wanted that. If people from here like me and other colony places like here had taken Euro country things no matter how important those things are to culture now and said they were gonna keep them, think that would be a problem eh. If the things would have been destroyed if museums did not save them is bossy. Why do museums people and colonists think they had the rights to take and preserve things that don't belong to them? Things that aren't your's you should give back when your asked to. Remember around is world of the wars and how people got starved, slaved, racism, and now keeping our stuff. It ain't good.

This thread seems to be turning into a serious discussion. As such it should really go into Epiphanies.
If somebody would like to start a thread there please do.
