How do we reconcile the sanctity of Indigenous burial grounds with
the desire to study them? Whether by curious Boy Scouts and
"backyard archaeologists" or competitive collectors and
knowledge-hungry anthropologists, the excavation of Native remains
is a practice fraught with injustice and simmering resentments.
Grave Matters is the history of the treatment of Native remains in
California and the story of the complicated relationship between
researcher and researched. Tony Platt begins his journey with his
son's funeral at Big Lagoon, a seaside village in pastoral Humboldt
County in Northern California, once O-pyuweg, a bustling center for
the Yurok and the site of a plundered native cemetery. Platt
travels the globe in search of the answer to the question: How do
we reconcile a place of extraordinary beauty with its horrific
past? Grave Matters centers the Yurok people and the eventual
movement to repatriate remains and reclaim ancient rights, but it
is also a universal story of coming to terms with the painful
legacy of a sorrowful past. This book, originally published in
2011, is updated here with a preface by the author.
