While I can sympathize with the locals feeling a little weird about somebody finding one of their ancestors and putting them on display in a museum, the other side of me goes damn so thats what people looked like back then. Sorry indigenous ethno-nationalist/tribal-rights movements. This is just too cool.

As I see it, if they didn't want them put on display in a museum, they shouldn't have sacrificed them to the Volcano Gods in the first place!

I think I'm going to side with the you give up legitimate rights to claim respect to ancestors when you offer them up to volcano gods. WERD.
