Tonight, we step into the charged arena of conspiracy and controversy with Professor Elizabeth Weiss, whose fearless inquiry into the past challenges the narratives set by modern gatekeepers of history. As a vanguard in the study of human skeletal remains, her work has not only enriched our understanding of human development but has also exposed her to the battleground where identity politics and science collide.
Why are certain truths about our ancient history being obscured or ignored? Why is legislation like NAGPRA, originally intended to respect and reconcile, being used to shut down academic inquiry? Weiss argues that these measures, while championing cultural sensitivity, may also be facilitating a form of historical censorship under the guise of political correctness.
As she gears up to release her explosive book, "On the Warpath: My Battles with Indians, Pretendians, and Woke Warriors," prepare to delve into a discussion that rips the veil off the powers dictating what parts of our past are remembered and which are concealed. Join us for a captivating conversation that's bound to challenge everything you thought you knew about the intersection of politics, science, and our shared history.
