This week on the show, the Wrong Boys speak with Canadian Cree-Métis Archaeologist Dr. Paulette Steeves about the evidence for peopling of the Americas, going back at least 60,000 years, but as much as 200,000+ years or more, and talk about the racist colonial biases in Archaeology over the last 100 years that ignored First Nations oral histories in favor of the disproven ‘Clovis-first’ hypothesis.

But there is an earlier law, the 1875 Page Act, which restricted immigration of “prostitutes”, and in practice banned the immigration of Chinese women.
