Who owns the past? treasure of history...

in #history6 years ago

have you traveled to a country with great historical attraction and wondered who really owns the past?!

Archaeologist and curator Chip Colwell collects artifacts for his museum, but he also returns them to where they came from.

In a thought-provoking talk, he shares how some museums are confronting their legacies of stealing spiritual objects and pillaging ancient graves -- and how they're bridging divides with communities who are demanding the return of their cultural treasures.
