Native American Artefacts ...
Oregon Historical Society The words Colonisation , Invasion , Conquest , Occupation , Appropriation/annexation , Acquisition, Subjugation and Encroachment are never used in any text in any forum discussing the Original Natives of The Americas . The standard term used to denote the period before influx of europeans is " Pre-Contact " : a sanitised , scented and sugar-coated label fit for public consumption . Genocides ?......Denial makes History cool. But at least they saved some remnants of the native civilization and made a museum out of them ....a greatly saddening visit . Wooden Mask , Woven reed basket , Whistle , Painbted wood Mask and Box, Chiklat Robe. ----
