Could be that folks are looking to assuage the collective guilt gained through five centuries of genocide. Genocide?
Now we're getting silly here. Inferior cultures come and go. Dozens have been lost to the dust bin of history. If the Indians could have eliminated the white man, they would have done so without a second thought.
Now, the only thing that keeps their culture alive is liberal mind set and PC. Like a big flock of pets. Sad.

He looks kinda like Wes Studi (a Cherokee actor who played Magua in "Last of the Mohicans") to me.

I don't know of any test they can do on 9000 year bones that is going to be fullproof (sic)
evidence. When you win the Nobel Prize in any of the sciences, we can start taking you seriously.
A big mouth and an inflated opinion of yourself isn't quite enough.
Sorry.

Yes, they do look a lot alike. I have a great collection of Indian books and have found quite a few pictures of Indians from many different tribes that look much like Kennewick man. Especially around the Great Lakes and Plains regions.

But I value religion and morales ... if not spelling or rational scientific thought...

There is no violation of the sanctity of human life by examining his bones now. To YOU maybe. You religion and your ideas are not universal.
PS "he's dead Jim" <---- that's too funny

Genocide? Yes, Genocide.
Now we're getting silly here. Inferior cultures come and go. Dozens have been lost to the dust bin of history. If the Indians could have eliminated the white man, they would have done so without a second thought.
I can say the same about other people. And you are wrong. You do not understand my culture. Killing to extermination is not and was not an "Indian thing".
Now, the only thing that keeps their culture alive is liberal mind set and PC. Like a big flock of pets. Sad.
I find this insulting. I endure every other religion, PC cr@p about "special people" that you can't question but my people and my religion are false? We are here because of leftism? You make me sick. My family served and defended this country for you and yours and this is what you think?
I pity people like you, you are what is wrong with the Right.

... if not spelling or rational scientific thought... ahh, you must be superior. You are resorting to picking nits, I'm at work, I can't play all day...

Since you have no idea what it might tell us you have no basis for placing no value on it. If it takes 20 years to complete the study that will be but a blip on the time line. The skeleton was not buried at the time of death but was lost or abandoned by what ever culture it was a member of. Burying it today in a Christian or native American ceremony might be a big affront to the deceased anyway.
