According to “Last Rites of the Indian Dead,” what is a basis for Harjo’s argument that the U.S. government should make the removal of American Indian remains illegal in all cases?

Profits made from the sale of the artifacts are not shared with American Indians.

Scientific advances resulting from the study of the remains only benefit some Americans.

The practice goes against America’s core values.

Removal of American Indian remains is destructive to the environment.

Corrected Answer (K-12):

It goes against America's core values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Harjo explains how the massacre conducted by the U.S. army on Indians was a **violation** of Indian people.

The answer above that is "expert verified" is incorrect.
