The Second Burial

Overview

The Second Burial tells of the two marked graves of the pirate Christopher Columbus, and generations of indigenous peoples, with none. An essay for the children who never left the Residential Schools, told via the colonial plunder in Barcelona and the civil war that followed, alongside Wilkerson's personal family heirlooms, brought from Europe to the former Mexican territory of California, one hundred years ago. Colonial violence against the other, also manifests against its own. And if left unchecked, it has the potential to destroy us all.
