According to “Last Rites of the Indian Dead,” what is a basis for Harjo’s argument that the U.S. government should make the removal of American Indian remains illegal in all cases?

Profits made from the sale of the artifacts are not shared with American Indians.

Scientific advances resulting from the study of the remains only benefit some Americans.

The practice goes against America’s core values.

Removal of American Indian remains is destructive to the environment.

Sagot :

The basis for Harjo's argument is that the removal of Native American remains is destructive to the environment, as shown in the last answer option.

Why does Harjo use this argument?

  • For Harjo, the Native American have already been heavily exploited by American society and this should not be repeated.
  • He believes that indigenous people should have peace and respect even after their death and therefore their mortal remains should not be used in research or displayed in museums.
  • This is because, in addition to disturbing the indigenous people, the extraction of mortal remains negatively impacts the environment.

With that, Harjo takes a stand against the removal of the indigenous remains.
