 is a hybrid event, join us live in-person at the SF Main public Library or 
 via Zoom (registration required).\n\n\nThe book "Grave Matters" is the 
 history of the treatment of Native remains in California and the story of 
 the complicated relationship between researcher and researched.\n\nTony 
 Platt begins his journey with his son’s funeral at Big Lagoon, a seaside 
 village in pastoral Humboldt County in Northern California, once O-pyúweg, 
 a bustling center for the Yurok and the site of a plundered Native 
 cemetery. Platt travels the globe in search of the answer to the question: 
 How do we reconcile a place of extraordinary beauty with its horrific 
 past?\n\n"Grave Matters: the Controversy Over Excavating California's 
 Buried Indigenous Past" centers the Yurok people and the eventual movement 
 to repatriate remains and reclaim ancient rights, but it is also a 
 universal story of coming to terms with the painful legacy of a sorrowful 
 past. This book, originally published in 2011, is updated here with a 
 preface by the author.\n\n\nABOUT: TONY PLATT\n\nTony Platt is a long-time
