Fact is, we don't know. They didn't let scientists study Kennewick man and many other old skeletons. I don't care if he was blond or brunette, black, brown or white. I'm sick of having guilt thrust upon me for "wiping out the Indians." I have a right to be here too.

"They didn't let scientists study Kennewick man and many other old skeletons."

The ninth circuit court (of all places) has declared that the scientists can/may study Kennewick Man...the Indians failed make the case that he was one of their ancestors. This was a losing case until The Smithsonian Institute put their full backing to let the scientists study. Specifically Doug Owsley at the Smithsonian. I ordered a subscription to their magazine out of appreciation.

Why should you feel guilty for something you didn't do? You are here already aren't you? Personally the folks I notice who obsess over Kennwick Man are also posters on SF. Reminds me of black folks who obsess over Egyptians.
