Hopefully this is the last word and phony baloney Indian claims have been smacked down for good.

How do these dates of 12000 years and 9000 years get arrived at?
Carbon dating is a fraud as is alot of purported "scientific facts".
Plus alot of unexplained skeletal remains are never studied
or brought to attention because they dont fit with the
"party line" of modern archeologists.

" Babbitt ruled the remains found on federal property should be given to the tribes"...
whose casinos are a flush source of political contributions and other graft.
To: blam
It's good to see honest scientific research can proceed without being impeded by groups trying to hold on to political power. It's fine to return remains that are actually "native american" to the appropriate tribes. It is immoral for those tribes to try to ban legitimate inquiry that might expose other, older inhabitants that would "dethrone" the claims of "native americans".
It is also annoying that any land in the United States could be designated "federal land". The Constitution puts specific limits on what the federal government can use. The politicians are using the Constitution as toilet paper when they grab land and designate it "federal". It is even more egregious when the federal government cedes control of U.S. land to foreign powers such as the United Nations.

For the record: Kennewick Man is a Viking, and all of North America is a part of Greater Vinland. Now all of you who don't belong get the hell out.

My God, I agree with the 9th circuit. Let me right this down on the calendar.
I wondered whatever happened to this skull. I figured they probably 'lost' it by now.
All the casinos belong to us.

'Bout a hunert years ago... OK I'll be honest... about fifty years ago, as a pre-adolescent, I read a book called They All Discovered America. It was written for laymen, indeed, even for young readers. It listed, and presented arguments for the existence of numerous pre-Columbian discoverers of America. Some were listed by name, others merely by evidence of the presence of artifacts of certain ethnicity and certain age somewhere in the Americas. Does anyone know of such a book (easy reading) containing the latest discoveries and theories?
To: blam
...ruling explicitly concludes there is no evidence of a genetic or cultural link between Kennewick Man and the modern-day tribes.I can't say I'm too enthused about any court, especially this one, determining what is scientifically correct.

This decision comes from the 9th Circuit. It bothers me to celebrate anything those guys do, but I guess every now and then they get it right.

Excellent, excellent decision. From the 9th Circuit Court?
Just proves that even a blind squirrel will find a nut every once in a while.

The tribes, who want to bury the remains, argued Kennewick Man was their ancestor because their oral histories contained no migration stories. That is taking PC to absurd extremes. Now we must allow primitive savages' ignorance to drive scientific inquiry?
Whether they were too ignorant to find out about migrations or not, clearly they are newcomers. It will be clearly proven that Kennewick man predates all "native" Americans by a whole bunch.
PC.... R.I.P.
