Actually you missed a step...

The Indians became hysterical and started to sue.
An Asatru organization jumped in to claim the body on behalf of Europeans.
The media went berserk saying that anyone associated with Asatru was a racist and therefor anyone suggesting he was caucasian was a racist.
He was then found to be neither but rather an Ainu

The Ainu issue bothers me for a couple of different reasons. The timing of the "neither" discovery, the question of the origin of the Ainu, and a study by a Japanese researcher that found Y-chromosome links "to the Black Sea region" in what he believed to be the purest possible Ainu which was completed years before Kennewick man was found (this research is one of the things that has apparently rather oddly disappeared from the web in recent years).

I omitted those "steps" specifically because they do introduce the specter of "racism" and inflammatory screeds.

I've been following this for years and was overjoyed when they forced the Indians to reveal the secret burial site in order to allow further testing.

Since that happened, it's been one round of "our ancient ancestor deserves a proper burial" histrionics after another.

[questionable motive or intentional cover-up?]

Somebody, somewhere is afraid of the question that may eventually be asked;

*Who* exterminated the pre-exisiting "Kennewicks"?

What will this mean, if anything, for the whole "indigenous population wiped out by the evil White Man/subsequent entitlements/tax free status?

Even the ChiComs are handling the "horrible implications" of the Red-headed desert mummies revelation better than this.

Years ago I watched a NatGeo special on the Ainu.
They were called a "mystery race" who had many disturbing Caucasian features.

If you ever get a chance, check out Barry Fell's books.

Archaeologists and anthropologists hate him but I happen to possess an artifact that supports his claims.

"(this research is one of the things that has apparently rather oddly disappeared from the web in recent years")

A lot of historically contrarian things conveniently "disappear".

Take the "Cherchen mummies", for one example.
After the Discover Channel ran the show, a plethora of sites popped up.
As years have passed, the sites have dwindled to vague and repetitive synopses.
Then there are these guys;

There are more things hidden than are ever revealed, simply because they contradict the politcally correct/"accepted" view of this country.

Just to add a layer of annoyance to the discussion, I happen to have a huge granitic "cupstone" sitting on the other side of the stream that runs parallel to my house.

They are very common in areas where Celts once lived and are always situtated over "dragon lines" which may be lines of electromagnetic force or underground springs. [where I live is above an intricate yet ephemeral and fleeting network of underground springs]

The stone of which I spoke sits directly over an especially powerful underground stream that runs east-west parallel to the south side of my house and intersects another even more powerful stream running north to south.

The neighbor directly south of me on a dead straight line from the stone drilled according to what the local 'water-witch' told him and hit an Artesian well. [and was that ever 3 days of geyser-like excitement]....;D

Coincidence?

"Native Americans" didn't seem to have much interest in creating ley-line cupstones...so who did?
