Historical Language
Museum staff recognize the offensive nature of the terms “cannibal” and "bush men" in describing the photographed individuals and activities. The term is listed here as it is part of the original documentation of past collecting practices and past methods of analysis.

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.
