The original article at WTHR was being hit hard by what apeaprs to be a Native American activist making all kinds of claims of felonies by Miller.
The original threads....

These morons have NO clim to any thing. They can’t prove ownership or relationship to bones or artifacts. The FBI is a disgrace. There is NO freedom in this country any more. If you ever stumble across any gold, silver or artifacts of any kind, TELL NO ONE AND SELL THEM ON THE BLACK MARKET. The Leftists will only steal it from you and blow the money out Obama’s black ass!
“Oh”, said the Indian activists and their peacenik allies.
The highway rests today on formerly sacred nothings.
This FBI art SWAT team should be checking out H!’s houses (and Wild Bill’s double-wide in Little Rock) for all of the stolen gov’t artifacts.
an update for ya.
They don’t “believe” a damn thing!
They have no reason to jump to that conclusion.
This is a standard tactic to gain access to EVERYTHING the guy collected.
We’ve seen this tactic before with “Kennewick Man” and with fake burial grounds in California.
Thanks for links. I posted on one of them earlier today:
Thousands Of Artifacts Seized At 91-Year-Old Indiana Man’s Home

OK, a little further research suggests that the 91-year-old perp may be harboring some Indian artifacts/bones. They are pretty much on the warpath about getting their ancestors stuff back from collectors and even museums. Even if the items were purchased legally, the Indians believe they still belong to them. The FBI Art Crimes Unit is examining everything

AND a great video here shows part of collections: http://wishtv.com/2014/04/02/home-video-shows-artifacts-in-rush-county-home/
Over the last several months, an FBI investigation has determined that Mr. Miller may have knowingly and unknowingly collected artifacts, relics and objects of cultural patrimony in violation of several treaties federal and state statutes, said FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert Jones .some statutes and laws put into place in the last several decades may not have been in effect when Miller collected some of the items.
Don’t need evidence, apparently when it’s Indian tribal stuff they are after. Running casinos has apparently given Indians enough money and political clout to push the gubmint around, at least during Big Chief Obama’s reign.
And as for the American Indian Movement, bah humbug. The gubmint does have an eye on them. Friend who is 1/4 Indian was asked to join, he said NO because he didn’t want to be stripped searched at every airport in the US.
Why does the article say “Native American” when the group in question is:
“We are glad something like this has happened,” said Albert Runningwolf, American Indian Movement.
Want to find Indian artifacts, look under Wrigley Field. The presents of an Indian burial ground located beneath the stadium (built in 1914) is the only plausible reason the Cubs have not won a World Series since 1908.
In a tyranny, most EVERYTHING is a felony, unless you work for the government.
the whole concept of Indian nations within this country should be immediately abolished....the "native Americans" should be mainlined and required to exist on their own as are all other Americans.
