Kennewick Man bones not from Columbia Valley, scientist tells tribes

Owsley says study shows that not only wasn't Kennewick Man Indian, he wasn't even from the Columbia Valley, which was inhabited by prehistoric Plateau tribes.
Tribal members listened for hours to Owsley's highly detailed presentation, but it did not budge their conviction that Kennewick Man is a part of their people's past — and needs to be reburied.

Sooo, despite all the evidence, Native Americans still won't accept the fact he's not one of them.

You know how those immigrant types are ~ they come down off the ramp from the Boing and they're asking for Congress to tighten up the rules!

It just never changes.

Eventually those Indians are going to have to show us their passports and visas though. Ever since they found out the Sa'ami were FIRST, none of these guys should be cut any slack at all.

If there was an ancient casino also uncovered, that would explain how the coastal Indian ended up there.

Well they have their oral traditions and that’s all that counts. It is the truth because they say so, silly little scientific data means nothing. Ask Elizabeth Warren, she’s a Cherokee because she says so, and therefore entitled to special treatment and undeserved tenure.

This issue, of course, is not about these bones. It’s about money and power and the tribe wants more money from the Federal Government and they want more power.

They have a pretty good racket going, and it would be bad for business if it turned out the first “native Americans” weren’t Injuns.

Bingo - we have a winner.

It is fairly obvious to anyone who takes the time to look at the “clay model” of the “Kennewick Man” that he was actually the captain of the Enterprise, Jean Lus Picard. He most likely was “transported” to the Columbia Plateau sometime after the Enterprise accidentally passed through a “temporal” “rift” or “distortion”. The same type of thing happened at least a dozen times to the Enterprise.

Plateau Tribal Members are obviously aware through stories passed from generation to generation that their ancestors brutally murdered the peace loving and always politically correct Captain Picard. They want to keep this brutal and shameful crime covered up.

You bet the Indians want to bury this.

Good article and pages of comments on the Seattle Times website.

We have some, appears to be, according to NY State archeologists leaker, Viking timbers and remains on old Mohican land but the Mohicans can`t claim it coz they ain`t Celts.- yup

[bunkerhill7]

Also some evidence found next to my farm in 2008 by NY State archaeologists that date back 5,000+ years but since the native tribes only used the area as a battleground for almost killing each other off for thousands of years, they can`t claim it neither.

If it turned out that people from prehistoric Europe were here before the "native" Americans, and the "native" Americans from Asia exterminated them, it would severely disrupt their narrative.

Funny how science isn’t the be all to end all. The earth is flat. No, it’s round. No, it’s flat.

Maybe Kennewick Man was on vacation.

That's why they want the evidence buried.

However, just like with Kennewick Man, it won't stop them from trying.
