 type: digital image format: QuickTime VR summary: From our On Native Land series. Anyone caught removing even a small piece of fossilized wood from Petrified Forest National Park will get fined $325. But Pinky & Bunny aren't stealing souvenirs, they're just spreading deadly radioactive contamination (okay, that's not real uranium), which must not be a big deal because the U.S. Government and corporations have been doing that in Navajo country for decades and no one's punishing them.

 type: digital image format: QuickTime VR summary: From our On Native Land series. Are sacred sites still sacred after being transformed into a U.S. "National Park"? Can a settler state legitimately claim ownership of Native peoples' ancestral lands in the shadow of genocide? Perhaps those are interesting questions but right now Bunny just knows her visit to Mesa Verde is being ruined because there's just too many tourists all over the place.

They also often record inconvenient evidence that counter misleading settler narratives - for example: "The land was vacant; there was no genocide."
