“Red Paint People” And Other Myths Of Maine Archaeology, David Sanger
“Red Paint People” And Other Myths Of Maine Archaeology, David Sanger
Maine History
Maine archaeologists continue to learn more about the pre-European past, often changing once accepted ideas.

Cultural Atrocity Expressed In Cultural Art, Marlie Mcgovern
Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal
Some of the most horrific chapters in human history have involved an ethnic dimension, notably the centuries-long obliteration of traditional Nigerian cultures by European colonizers, the attempted destruction of European Jews in the Holocaust, and the World War ll decision to assault the Japanese with atomic bombs. The consequences of the above atrocities are not contained within temporal or cultural barriers, but hold profound and pervasive ramifications within contemporary society in its entirety. More recent conflicts in Africa, Southeast Asia and the Balkans reemphasize the horror and suffering brought about by cultural collisions. One of the most potent reactions to …
