Kennewick man renains not protected
KING5

Posted on 02/04/2004 12:12:38 PM PST by djf

The courts have rules that the remains of Kennewick man, a 9,000 year old apparent caucasian skeleton found on the north shores of the Columbia river in Washington state, are not protected by the Native Americans act and must be turned over for scientific examination.

It will probably be another 9,000 years before the Indians turn them over for study.

What a terrible ruling! This will wreck their claims of victimhood and privelage now!

From what I remember, Janet Reno had a hand in handing over the remains to the Indians.

They've probably already burned his bones in a "ceremony". Can't have 9000 year old caucasian skeletons lying around taking away victimhood.

Which tribe claimed him under NAGPRA, anyway?

This is terriffic. I had always understood that the Clintonoids buried the remains under a lot of stuff in order to disrupt the possibility of dispacing our "Native" American brothers or "Aboriginal Americans" (sometimes known as "Injuns") from their place as the first people in America.

regards,

Excellent news!! This is the ruling on the Indian appeal from an earlier ruling that said the scientists could study the skeleton. The bones are locked up somewhere...under federal protection.

Is it just me, or does it seem there has been an extraordinary number of archeological finds lately? I'm still diggin on that announcement about relics in Antarctica... the more I dig, the more I think something very unusual is being covered up.
