Episode 15: How Ghosts Wrote a Law (or, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act)
In this episode, Augusta and Eva break down how the agency of ghosts and the white fear of the 'Native spirit' led to the passing of a very significant federal law in 1990. We talk about Kennewick Man, haunted Westerns, and why we don't use the word 'traditional' anymore.
content warning: listeners may find discussion of the genocide of indigenous peoples disturbing
