If it is indeed Beothuk remains, give them over for burial.

Burying the dead is a work of mercy. I wouldn't want my bones to be ogled at in a glass case.

The Micmacs were enemies of the Beothunk. The Beothunk were known to the English as ‘Red Indians’ due to their habit of decorating themselves with red ochre. The Beothunk were likely the first Indians encountered by first wave Viking explorers. Some Beothunk were taken into slavery by the English. In general, the Beothunk were wiped out by the second wave Europeans before they even established communication with one another. What little is known of their language is derived from two captive women who were asked to name objects in English households. The fact that they had never seen a tea cup, house cat, or chandelier wasn't taken into account and no written record was made of the endeavor. The Micmacs have a history of assimilating captured enemies so there is a possibility that a diluted Beothunk genome persists among them today. Fun Fact: The Micmacs have dual US/Canadian citizenship and travel freely between the two countries.

I see no need to revere ancient bones. Let them serve a purpose by being in a museum. They should be on display not in a vault.

This Indian leader probably just wants to open his own museum.
