In 1897, American explorer Robert Peary returned from his latest Arctic expedition to Greenland with an enormous iron meteorite, which he had taken from a small tribe of Greenlandic Inuit, the Inughuit. Also on board his ship were…

We use a few different terms in this video to describe indigenous people — including Inuit, Inughuit, and Inuk. If you’re curious to learn more about how to describe Inuit, take a look at this “Style Guide for Reporting on Indigenous People” from Journalists for Human Rights:

Humanity: An History of Greed.
How America shapes the history to their own willing.
Museums
It’s become impossible to look at us in the “west “ as anything but horrible people. We westerners are a blight on humanity. Everything we’ve built has been through theft and at the expense of others. It makes me wonder who we SHOULD have been if our ancestors had been honest, forthright people and not liars and thieves.
Westerners stealing treasures of the world how typical
White man job
Not surprised. Entire AMERICA is nothing but just a sham.
this is horrifying to know. I feel bad for Minik and his people especially the way they treated his father. disgusting. Karma will do its thing.
also let's normalize "exploiter" and "colonizer" instead of "explorer" because disgusting individuals like Peary doesn't deserve any limelight.
Life
this is so evil
Imagine going to see your dad’s grave in a museum
What is it with museums and their obsession with holding onto corpses man
I love museaums, but they really need to do a better job of explaining how in many cases they outright stole many of the exhibits they currently display and make money off of. The fact that in this case they also took live humans just makes the whole thing so much worse. It shouldn't take public pressure for these museums to do the right thing.
Need a video on kohinoor diamond by vox
Just plain evil.
It's so great that I live in a country where there is no permanent guilt for everything done in the past 😄
Very sad after seeing the video. All in the name of exploration and science.
Remember, humans will do absolutely ANYTHING for money, power, and influence. When you come to terms with that, everything falls into place and you can deal with the REAL world. Humans were designed to progress, and we will easily excuse the worst behavior as long as it comes with a big enough reward. If you deny this, you are not prepared for the reality of this world.
And they still think US are the hero?

So, peary was a scumbag. Hmmp.
It's easy to return artifacts once you already made millions out of it…
Christopher Cokinos tells the first part of this story in a lot more detail in his book about the history of meteorite discoveries The Fallen Sky.
Yet again I watch an informative piece of journalism about our history and I am embarrassed and sad.
Are there any cultures or civilisations that 'whitey' hasn't pillaged and ruined?
The irony is we call ourselves civilised, yet we are the ones destroying nature, other peoples and history.
I can only hope that museums and other places that use/search for interesting artefacts and 'displays' for our education and entertainment do so with more care now, and in the future.
Americans always stealing and selling stuff they ought not to
Wow!! Disgusting!
