NAGPRA strikes again. This guy was apparently 10,300 years old. Older than 9,000 year-old Kennewick Man. Hell, if the government is going to indulge the injuns in this way, why not take advantage of it?

Then again, if the gadfly archaeologist James Chatters had not run around giving interviews comparing his discovery to “Jean Luc-Picard” the usual suspects likely would never have even heard of him and the ensuing circus might never have happened.

I really think if a living relative who remembers the guy in question while he was alive can come forward, they should get the remains. Otherwise....
