the really sad thing about the chinchoro mummies was that they where mostly children. young children and fetus. theres a theroy that they preserved the children like this for the mothers to be able to continue to look after their babies. its believed that high levels of natural arsenic contributed to a high child mortality rate and people living in the area today are still effected due to water contamination... its all kinda... really depressing

My husband is a Blackfoot tribal member. glacier national park representatives contacted the tribe because they were making a visitor center display about the creation stories of the various local tribes. The display was nearly done, but they needed to know the Blackfoot creation beliefs. Well, the Blackfoot don't share that information. It's private to tribal members. So the park was forced to have part of the display that just informs visitors that the creation story is private. Cracks me up every time I see it. They deserve a right to privacy. Thanks for the respect.

Gotta work for it more than a quick Google search. Same should go for any government institution or any non-tribal member asking for our stories. It was illegal for us to know and share our stories just a few decades ago, people were beaten and killed for speaking our language. If a palm-colored person wants to know our stories they have to show it in every action they take around their storyteller til they earn the right and show they aren't going to ignorantly ignore our words and actions.

I think as long as it's old enough it becomes more acceptable. It's the difference between archaeology and grave-robbing. I'm Scandinavian & Viking burials are dug up all the time. Doesn't bother me even if I am distantly related to them. On the contrary. I find the information found during those digs to be fascinating! Of course it should be done with respect, but part of how we learn about who we are is learning about where we came from & those who came before us.

When I thought I couldn't like you more.. Your badass self proved me wrong once again. The respect you display for other people's culture and beliefs is really outstanding and heartwarming. As an Egyptian, I felt a very strange sadness when I visited the British Museum and saw that it has more interesting mummies than my own country. A lot of them are just stored in boxes underground, like canned vegetables, not even in the dignified way they deserve. To me it is highly disrespectful and not the right place where those amazing people who changed the world should rest .The fact that Britain and France refuse to give back mummies that were found from the same family, as some discovered in Egypt, is heartbreaking. Until now, us, modern Egyptians, still bury our loved ones together in the same place (often in crypts) and it means a lot to us culturally. When I look at those mortuary masks and statues, I see a lot of my own physical traits, same nose same lips same skin color drawn on the temples and mortuary chambers' walls. I feel connected to them in a strange way, it is like seeing an old family picture of people who look just like me. I wish people would respect more their documented wishes after death, and their religious beliefs. I don't mind "sharing" because to me it is a part of world's history and not only Egypt's or Africa's, but I feel like sometimes people forget what they are, how they deserved to be treated and the deference they deserve.

It isn't as simple as just returning the remains/artefacts. Legally speaking, ownership is judged by what laws existed at the time when the remains/artefacts were obtained. However, once a precedent is set that something "can" be returned, it is hard to go back. For example, in the 1950s the British Museum released a few pieces of artwork, some to Nigeria. Subsequently there have been efforts based on that single, irregular, release to get the British Museum to release more artefacts. For the sake of protecting its collection, the British Museum has no choice but to maintain its collection in its entirety.

@Jason and Julie Smith Wow what an amazing detailed answer. First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to read mine, and understand what I tried to convey. English is only my 6th language so I feel like I cruelly lack the right vocabulary that would transcend the absence of human interactions in written answers, and translate the best my thoughts. But You understood perfectly. I'm not a polytheist and I don't think my body will have any use after my death, and this is why I decided to donate my organs. Despite my personal beliefs, I would like for those mummies to be treated with the same respect I would like my loved ones and myself to be treated, and have their wish respected, just like I want mines to be. I would be devastated if after my death my healthy organs wouldn't be used to save lives juste because someone decided to, thinking they were superior to me for whatever reason, and therefore more apt to take a "good" decision. And you are right, I often feel like the African culture and history aren't regarded the same as the European , to some people not all thankfully. It is often disregarded, disrespected, not taught in schools (even though it is a big part of world's history) and often rewritten to suit a certain narrative. Post colonial mentality is very real, and I'd be curious to see their reaction if Egypt decided to exhume a pope, Voltaire or Victor Hugo and display them in a dusty museum , and then forget them in a humid dirty dusty basement, while presenting their body to the world in a very undignified way. I want people to know my past and present culture, so prejudices and racism that stem from fear and ignorance will stop. I'm more than happy to share, but only if they would treat them like they treat their own (and i'm not the type to cry racism at every corner, far from that but facts are here. I visited the mummified nun and the difference in treatment was striking .) I really hope that your beautiful wish will be respected, I too want my body in the ground after my organs have been harvested, and go back to where I belong to. Thank you very much for sharing your views with me and having the courage to point some questionable behaviors resulting from that post colonial superiority complex. I wish people were more open and would put themselves in other people's shoes like you did ;) I believe in God and have my religion but I highly respect other's and people who chose not to have one or believe in anything. I'd cut my own hand before "playing" with people's remains for monetary gain and disrespect their wish and their body. (they have studied Egyptians mummies over and over. It is not for scientific purpose anymore, which I highly support, research of any sort is good. But now, It is just to attract people to museums and make money. No need to have 90 of them and more in their basements. People can discover mummies and world's history the same through 2 mummies. They can keep 2 of them and give back those mummies who were very important people to us, and give them back their resting place, in the country they made so amazingly magic. Respecting their wishes that have been documented 1 million times shouldn't be that difficult, to the point of causing a diplomatic incident with Egypt)

My respect grows every day for Caitlin. Most people don't understand the Native American Protection and Repatriation Act, and I am often told by excited people how they found a Native American bone and they display it in their collection of oddities. And it always horrifies me, not just as an Indigenous person but just as a person. I also have a collection of oddities, but my collection does not include human remains. And I am always astonished by how Indigenous remains, no matter how old or how recent, are seen as things to collect ...like pretty rocks or animal bones. I even respect how Caitlin talked candidly about how she wanted to delve deeper and be the one to tell the story, just because she was genuinely interested and was coming from a good place. But I like that she respected the wishes of the Nation who claimed their ancestor and who wished to keep some things from her, and us because most Indigenous cultures are closed.

But just because he was native American doesn't mean he was their ancestor. Neither tribe existed at the time, so they claimed someone with no connection to them. How is that any different from what the scientists did?

It is absolutely fascinating that this tribe knew about the remains and let them rest there for literally thousands of years. Generations of people telling their children and their children's children etc. about the Spirit Cave and how you shouldn't disturb it. Incredible. They have so much more reverence for their dead than my culture does.

The incredible thing we often miss about tribal culture as members of a settler colonial state is that there is evidence of tribes passing down relatively reliable records of both myths and actual events for hundreds of generations. There are Aboriginal Australian tribes that still accurately tell stories about islands that were covered by the sea ten thousand years ago.

That's awesome! My mom wanted to go back to school to become a paralegal via an online program. The only problem was that the program would have required her to spend a few weeks at the campus, which is 3 hours away from her home. She still had my younger brother and sister living with her at the time, and they were still quite young. Now that they've both graduated and are grown I keep hoping that she'll try again. She works 3 different jobs just to make ends meet, and it would be so nice if she could get just one really good job and only have to do that. She's 55, and she would make an awesome paralegal. She's so good at research and compiling facts, and I think it's something that she would enjoy doing.

This video was so awesome! As a Native American I am SO happy that you showed so much dignity and respect for the wishes of the tribe in Nevada. My father was a strong proponent of the repatriation act and once had a lengthy legal battle with a museum in Michigan that had a very old Ojibwe body on display. Long story short, I have attended secret reburials (which is common with "special" corpses so they aren't messed with by the curious) and it's very emotional for everyone as we mourn this very human connection to our past. It's so great that you have shown that honor in this video. It's one of the many reasons I'm a huge fan of your channel.

I'm honestly curious, I'm Central American and as you know our blood is extremely mixed. In my county even do we have some people who have more native blood, most of the kids don't care anymore for traditions and the stories of the elders. Some groups and individuals are trying to record the eldest people's tales, the Nahuatl just a few still speak and save a much as we can. Unfortunately due to the process of the conquest, the globalization and all, the vast majority of it it's gone. We have very few archeologist, historians and anthropologist that try to investigate a long forgotten time. I would love to learn more about our own past and the one of other civilizations. Do you guys feel like there are things of your traditions that might have gotten lost in time? Are there efforts to record the stories before the kids stop hearing them? Are there any collaborations between researchers/scientists and tribes to try and learn more of the ancestors in a respectful way? I believe oral and written tradition is very valuable, but at least in our location it can be hard to get and even at times unreliable (much of what we have is even from after the Spanish came and some got mixed with the Aztecs and other tribes during the process of colonization) and we are only left with the remains of people, artifacts and structures of the past to learn more about it. I'm just curious about how it's handled in North America. Btw I'm really sorry if I'm being disrespectful or my English is bad. 😓

Hey Caitlin! Another deathling from Arica, Chile here! Chinchorro mummies are very important in our city, yet not very known in the rest of our country. We're taught that chinchorro mummies are older than Egyptian ones yet people always say that the chinchorro ones "oficially" don't count as the oldes in the world since the mummification process is different somewhow. So it was such a nice surprise to see them properly featured here, I didn't think you'd consider them in the nomination! hahaaha it felt like we actually won the award

Recently watched a documentary on these mummies. If I remember correctly they discovered that the long bones had been split in order to access the marrow inside. The only explanation they had for that was cannibalism. They also stressed that if this was in fact the case that they probably didn't view it the way modern humans would suggesting that it potentially served 2 purposes. The first being to cut down on waste in times where it was harder to survive. The second was potentially the idea that consuming their loved ones was a way to take them into their bodies so that they became part of them. The discovery that they mummified not only adults but children, babies and even fetuses confused scientists at first because it's extremely unusual. There was even the question on infanticide. That seemed contradictory to the care taken towards the babies though and didn't explain the high number of not only babies but fetuses as well. It was discovered that the land contained a very high level of arsenic. So with that evidence they have come to the belief that the high mortality rate among fetuses and newborns was actually from arsenic poisoning of the mothers. Sorry for the long comment. I just found the whole process of reasoning and deductions facinating.

I saw a mummy in person for the first time last March. I’ve always been fascinated by ancient Egypt so I was pretty excited. But when I saw them, in their glass cases and on display for the masses, I was sad. They had been people who were loved enough to be mummified. They had once walked and talked and shared stories with friends. It was odd for me. I didnt know those women. No one in a thousand years had known those women. I still felt like I was intruding on something intimate, like being at a wake of a family I didn’t know. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who felt this way, even if you didn’t see the mummy personally.

Well, Ancient Egyptians would certainly want you to remember them or at least their name, since oblivion was considered to be the ultimate horrible fate. But I'm not entirely sure if that includes their earthly remains being gawked at by strangers though😕 I do find more museums are trying to display artifacts and human remains in a way that makes the viewer think of the people who created these objects or became these corpses in a much more sympathetic and humanizing way. Like facial reconstruction, so you can get an idea of how they looked like in life, explain what kind of life they probably lived etc. That sort of thing. I definitely think it's changed a bit over the years.

It's a common thought in this day an age that "nothing really matters" or "no one will care who you are thousands of years after you die". Over ten thousand years, climates changed, species became extinct, new species arose through domestication, empire rose and fell, Bronze, iron, steel, the industrial revolution, the first car, the first man on the moon, the rise of the internet, And this man is still respected and cared for by his ancestors. Who he was and what he did forgotten, but his body and the acknowledgment that he existed is still there. This is why culture and ritual is important.

To me, the Chinchorro mummies have a strange macabre beauty to them. I think that the mummies were kind of a way of making, say a family member, immortal: making them live forever in a sense. Today, when a family member dies (or anyone for that matter) they're either kept in an urn or kept underground (of course there are other ways, like sea burials and mausoleums, but the same concept applies if you get me). You can visit their grave, hold their ashes, but it's never quite the same as kissing *them*, touching *them*, talking to them face to face. I think that's what the Chinchorro people thought of. Uncle Fred might not move or speak, but maybe he can hear us, see us. I don't know, just a thought I guess.

I know the anthropologist who was in charge of the Spirit Cave Man investigation in the 1990s. The tribes' oral history all claim that there was another group, and they all take credit for destroying them. The items found in the cave are not traditional for any of the known historic tribes in the area. He may have been repatriated to his enemies.

It could just be that the Chinchorro mummies were made because the people there were so sad that at losing their loved ones that they created sort of dolls of the people who had died to keep as if the person had never died in the first place. Over generations, like old photographs, people couldn't remember who the dolls originally were, so they were left on the mountain side rather than thrown away.

Hiiii! :) I recently found your channel, and I have anxiety disorder so death and that kind of thing really freaks me out - it's one of my main worries I'd say. But ever since I've been watching your channel, I've been watching lots of your videos daily, and my anxiety has decreased A LOT surrounding death and dying. So I just wanted to say thank you for that :)

I feel the same way. I was suicidal most of my life due to depression and death was something I was thinking of a lot. Yet it was a subject I would not be comfortable with, I didn't know much about what happens to us after we die as for the body and it caused anxiety. It does not help that nobody wants to talk about death, it's the subject most avoid. This channel has helped me so much in accepting and understanding, I feel comfortable with death now, it's not something I fear, but something I see as a natural way of life. This is a positive thing, made me a lot less suicidal actually. And on the days I struggle with life I think to myself "I cannot die now as THERE ARE STILL NO NATURAL BURIAL OPTIONS IN MY AREA" and it keeps me going. So yeah, big fan. Of both, the channel and natural burial.

@@kelzbelz313 I found this channel right after my dog died. I grow up in a death positive house but her passing was very very difficult for me. Still is. I had her buried in a pet cemetery next the the ranch she would stay at when we where away. The rancher brought us a large red rock to place as a headstone (she was redhead) and added an engraved plate. This channel put me at peace with her death and the way we handled it. I have a rock from her grave and a bit of fur. My boyfriend finds it creepy but it makes me happy to know a part of her is with me.

I wouldn't want that tbh, not a thousand years from now or ever... I once watched how they put him out for testing with just a little cloth over his crotch and felt so sorry for him.

I’m so happy with your coverage of Nevada! Typically people mispronounce our name and think we’re all about gambling, but we’re actually big on history and culture here (at least the northern part of the state is...). Idk if you got to go to the part of Fallon that has a ton of fish fossils, but that’s a school field trip we always do. We also have a whole thing on Ichthyosaurus fossils (which is also our official state fossil, btw). Knowing the specific Native American tribes and their rights is also a big deal. Unfortunately the people who live on the reservations tend to get screwed, but I hope we turn it around. :(
