I don’t know the name of the type of technology involved but I have seen a lecture of a satillite’s ability to take a picture of a specific place on the earth and with the help of other tools, determine what is under the ground there. If it is true, this kind of technology is great for good and bad things. It can be used to locate raw resources such as metals and minerals, but it can also be used to locate unmarked burial sites. Most unmarked burial sites are of an indigenous nature. This kind of technological ability to locate burials can be valuable or devastating depending on who is using the tools. In one hand, knowing where the burials are located indigenous nations are able to declare territories of origin. On the other hand, people who practice the desecretion of indigenous burial grounds could have a “field day.” Indian Burial Rights vs. treasure hunters and grave robbers. what’s up widat??
