Today my team @ProPublica released a news app that will allow you to look up any university, museum or other institution that receives federal money and has the remains of Native American people that they have yet to repatriate.
Here's my alma mater, the University of Florida, clocking in just under the top 10.
You can look up your own here: https://projects.propublica.org/repatriation-nagpra-database/

We found a pair of roosting Great Horned Owls near the #Boise River yesterday, including this big, beautiful female. It is always a treat to encounter one of these "tigers of the sky," so named for their aggressiveness and ability to kill prey as large as geese, hawks, and porcupines. #BirdsofMastodon #owls #birds #Idaho
Does Your Local Museum or University Still Have Native American Remains?
---
In 1990, Congress passed the Native American Graves Protection & #Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), which set up a process for tribes to request the return of remains.
33 years later, at least half of the remains of more than 210,000 #NativeAmericans have yet to be returned.
Use this tool to see which #museums, #colleges & govt. agencies still have them:
Shitpost du jour (a thread)
When I was 19 years old, I spent a year as a soldier in the very north of Sweden.
In the process of learning how to be a first class military grunt, you have to become familiar with how to handle all sorts of equipment. Machine guns, shortwave radios, rock drilling machines, big ass tents and foldable shovels. And the shoe shine box. Shining boots is a very serious activity in the army.
But most of all, you have to learn how to handle yourself.

As I posted yesterday, I am a HUGE fan and supporter of Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Here are some of their rescued orphans. 💗 🐘
