This couldn’t be. Everyone knows the Indians were benevolent, pastoral people whose only goal was to paint with all the colors of the wind. Didn’t you see “Pocahantas?” Or “Dances with Wolves?” It wasn’t until those filthy Europeans came on the scene that murder, mayhem, and strife were loosed.

Clearly, Bush has to step-up and take responsibility here.

I think you’re right, it’s only the white devils that do this kind of thing.

Both Nelson and Edgar said it's too soon to determine whether the deformations were intentional or merely the result of cradleboarding, the practice of carrying babies on boards strapped to mothers' backs.*************
That was my first thought. Fascinating story. I look forward to seeing how this develops.

Didn’t realize that evil, white, european males had been in the area that early. Only we are capable of behaving in that fashion.

Bush has to step-up and take responsibility here. Acting through his henchman, Dick Cheney.

Do you think there was an ancient version of Dick Cheney who was for cradleboarding?

It has actually been studied:
Asymmetric vault modification in Hopi crania.
Kohn LA, Leigh SR, Cheverud JM.
Program in Occupational Therapy, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri 63108, USA.
Cradleboarding was practiced by numerous prehistoric and historic populations, including the Hopi. In this group, one result of cradleboarding was bilateral or asymmetric flattening of the posterior occipital.

I doubt Cheney was involved, although his powers are unlimited.

The victimsfive adults, one child, and one infantwere members of an obscure native culture known as the Gallina, which occupied a small region of northwestern New Mexico around A.D. 1100Good. Cannot blame the White Man for that and the use of the term genocide reeks of a reporter stretching a point. Back then whole tribes were knocked out in one day DUH

I found so many skeletons in New Mexico I quit counting.......not including that boney little waitress at Amagustos Bar in the south valley that Tijeras Slim liked !
Honestly .....not a rare event at all to find artifacts and evidence of tribal life when out in the boonies. Great place to 4 Wheel and hike. When we did surface clearances for ordnance on old ranges we found many burial grounds, old pottery, tools, .......just a gazillion little things that would just amaze ya .......very beautiful state.
Most foooked up politics on the face of this planet though.........
