Bones of Contention: A bad bill would throttle American archaeology.

Ever wonder what Thomas Jefferson would say when informed that there is a such thing as a federal "Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act?"

[BenLurkin]

I don't understand why our nation's so called "scientists" aren't demanding the opportunity to study the ethnological evidence

[Coyoteman]

Please clarify.

[AmishDude]

Because there are some lobbies that will not be crossed.

IMHO, Archeologists should be required to rebury everything in the exact same position as they dug it up. They're messing up the historical record for future generations.

Archeologists should be required to rebury everything in the exact same position as they dug it up.

The left already lambastes Hedin and Stein for failing to apply 21st Century archaeological techniques while working in the 19th Century. But Hedin, at least, is wholly politically incorrect.

Mixed feelings: watching your mother-in-law driving over a cliff...

...in your brand new car.

Since archeologists became "more equal" than the rest of us they have not been my favorite people; on the one hand.

On the other hand, having American indians lay claim to all previous peoples to have inhabited the Americas has as much validity as me (or anyone else) claiming ownership and control over the moon.

Making something a law makes it neither legal, ethical or moral.

If things were that simple, I am sure I can get a majority (once things are explained to them) of current Americans to dump every activist indian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
