This business of returning archaic-period Indian remains to modern tribes is PC run amuck.

Clearly. But these tribes want to keep their perks and New Age charisma as "native Americans." If they allow study of old bones someone might prove that Siberian Asians weren't here first. Thanks to Indian Casinos they also have potent political muscle -- did you follow their huge cash contributions in the CA governor's race?

I certainly did follow their cash contributions. This brings up an interesting point. Der Arnold says he won't raise taxes, but I heard him say, on the day following the election, that he was going to visit the issue of "Indian Casinos" as a source of more revenue (although he didn't phrase it exactly that way). I hope he puts the real squeeze on them, although I'm not holding my breath.
