Looting has an immense impact on our ability to understand our global cultural heritage; once these objects are gone, so too is our chance of piecing together humanity's shared story.
Interpretation
Looting destroys invaluable cultural artifacts, hindering our understanding of history.
The quote by Sarah Parcak emphasizes the significant consequences of looting on cultural heritage. When historical objects are stolen or destroyed, we lose critical pieces of information that help us understand the narratives of humanity and our shared experiences throughout history. These artifacts are not just relics; they are vital components of our collective story, and their loss diminishes our ability to learn from the past.
In practice

Underground people pay a desperate toll finding out things nobody else has discovered yet. We run around like headless chickens looking for the next cultural fix to spiral around in before it gets appropriated somewhere else and becomes something it never was. There's this sort of one-upmanship in the underground.
When you talk about Lacrosse, you talk about the lifeblood of the six nations. The game is ingrained into our culture and our system and our lives. (the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora)
