(The part featuring him starts around the 23 minute mark.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A candidate in a northern British Columbia riding has purchased a human skull as a birthday present for her boyfriend, according to a Facebook post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Claire Ratt\u00e9e is running for the Conservatives in Skeena-Bulkley Valley, a huge riding held by NDP MP Nathan Cullen. It includes Prince Rupert, Smithers, Terrace and the Queen Charlotte Islands. About 90,000 people live there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shawn Graham, history professor at Carleton University and trained archaeologist asserts many of the human remains sold today come from the late 19th century to the early 20th century and were used for the purpose of scientific racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe vast majority of these human remains being bought and sold online, these aren\u2019t white people, and turned into commodities,\u201d said Graham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAn absence of law doesn\u2019t make something morally or ethically right, just because there\u2019s no law against it, it doesn\u2019t mean that this is something that should be done or celebrated.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Associate Professor Shawn Graham was interviewed by Martha Troian of APTN News.
