Historical Language
Museum staff recognize the offensive nature of the term "Bushman" in describing the geographic context for this item, however, the geographic place name is still in use and we are not aware of any current term that has replaced it.
Important Note about Historical Language
Collections records may contain language, reflecting past collecting practices and methods of analysis, that is no longer acceptable. The Peabody Museum is committed to addressing the problem of offensive and discriminatory language present in its database. Our museum staff are continually updating these records, adding to and improving content. We welcome your feedback and any questions or concerns you may want to share.
