Also known as Indian land fills. The bodies were discarded on the pile with the rest of the trash. I’m not sure why they are considered sacred now.
I once worked on a school being built on BLM land in New Mexico. The project was delayed for almost two years because mixed in with the present day garbage, spare tires, and other debris was discovered some indian garbage.
What makes this especially amusing is that the Rio Grand Valley in Southern NM has basically been populated by the same people (Indians who interbred with the Spanish) for the last 500 years or so. The people who currently live in that area were being denied a school because their ancestors used the land the same way as their descendants, as a dump.
“I’m not sure why they are considered sacred now.”
Because there is profit in being a victim-class.
