"notwithstanding the Bush Administration's siding with Indians to prevent further scientific study."

Nope, that was the Clinton administration and the court ruled in favor of the scientists. It is presentlt back in court on appeal. (Kennewick Man)

Nope, the Bush administration filed a brief in the appeal claiming the remains were culturally unaffiliated but still Native American and thus covered by NAGPRA.

As the Department of Justice states in their July 1 response brief to the 9th Circuit, their current position is that these remains are without a qualified claimant. The agencies now argue that the remains should be found to be Native American, paving the way to repatriate them under NAGPRA's section dealing with unidentified remains. They fail to mention to the Court the fact that the Department of the Interior has not managed to finalize regulations on how to handle unidentified remains.

It's on my list of ten reasons why I won't be voting for GWB in 2004.
