Meteorite Misadventures

The story reveals the troubling history behind a meteorite, once used by the Inuit for tools and weapons, now displayed in a museum where visitors are encouraged to touch it. Ironically, the museum glosses over the human impact on this artifact, including the tragic fate of a man who died during the Spanish flu pandemic. The discussion highlights how museums often fail to acknowledge the complex narratives behind their exhibits, prioritizing presentation over the stories of those affected.
