Nineteenth-century "salvage anthropology" preserved millions of Indigenous objects, sources of knowledge invaluable to researchers and the public. But many of these objects were stolen, and for decades exhibited as proof of cultural evolution. Samuel Redman details the tangled history and explores how we might contend with such collections today.
