27/7: The Heard Museum is the anthropology museum in Phoenix. Our first real day in Phoenix, me, mom and Daniel went there to look at pots and statues.
It wasn’t as big as the anthrology museum at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, but they had some really beautiful and some really interesting exhibits. They also exhibited different things – different indigenous peoples and their art. The people of the desert had different cultures and traditions from the peoples of the Pacific Northwest, and it became so obvious in the differences in the art they made.
Visiting these museums, it becomes just how obiously absurd the idea that Columbus discovered the Americas really is. The Europeans are a really narrow minded and ignorant people.
