"No burial for 10,000-year-old bones
University of California denies request for repatriation of remains.
"Failure to repatriate these remains is offensive to my Moslem faith! Responsibility for this travesty can be laid on George Bush, and would never have happened under an Obama administration!"

I’m sure the owners don’t mind.
It may be possible to extract some of the oldest human DNA in North America from the exquisitely preserved remains
this is just about protecting casinos.
If it is show there is NO TRULY NATIVE society here in the continent then we may be able to get away from this tribal stuff.
(1) The picture evolving is that Western Europeans hugged the bottom of the glacial shelf in small reed boats, sleeping on the ice and hunting water mammals and fishing, until they reached eastern Canada. "Native Americans" are desperate to hide this.
Good.
Better anaylze those bones quickly.
If the idiot Obama gets in, NO human remains will be subject for study in North America (except maybe those of aborted babies).
"The oldest human remains found in the Americas were recently "discovered" in the storeroom of Mexico's National Museum of Anthropology.
"Found in central Mexico in 1959, the five skulls were radiocarbon dated by a team of researchers from the United Kingdom and Mexico and found to be 13,000 years old. They pre-date the Clovis culture by a couple thousand years, adding to the growing evidence against the Clovis-first model for the first peopling of the Americas."
"Of additional significance is the shape of the skulls, which are described as long and narrow, very unlike those of modern Native Americans.
The existence of “native” peoples who predate and are unconnected through DNA with current tribes, would confound tribal claims to natural resource use rights dating to “time immemorial.”
My opinion on this is if a tribe forgets where they buried their dead, then they don't have a right to the remains when someone else finds them. How sacred is a burial ground when they can't even keep track of where it is?
