There is yet no absolute proof of him being Slavic but the people who would see basic differences and know the facts....have pointed this direction. What the 'Kennewick Man' does to harm the Indians is rather simple...if you can show that someone was on the American contintent prior to 2,000 years ago, and he isn't Indian...you open up a whole debate of who exactly are the Indians in the first place...and thus no importance to their legal cause.

We can already show that Eric the Red beat Columbus to the continent....its almost 95 percent fact now. And in the past 12 months, we have strong evidence that the Chinese actually landed on the continent in 1421...and perhaps left Chinese people here. That doesn't both the Indians too much.

But lets say that you can show that some Spanish heritage folks from 5,000 years ago...found their way across to the continent...then the special status of the Indians crumbles rather quickly. It is already becoming apparent that the Indians from 10,000 to 20,000 years ago hunted down the a number of speciies on the continent and wiped them out. This is something that a lot of liberal groups dispise talking about but will admit its probably true.

Eventually...somewhere along the east coast...we are going to find a second Kennewick Man, and this time....we won't be stupid enough to announce the find...we will go straight to the DNA lab and then announce the results...thus killing off the Indians special status.

That's not a bad idea. I've got a friend who is a contractor in the timber industry in western Canada, and he had his job site shut down for several weeks after he found an Indian burial site out in the forest in the middle of nowhere.

After all the endless bureaucratic bullsh!t, he told the people at the Native Affairs office that the next time he came across one of those things he was just going to plow it over and tear up all the trees.

And I know this guy -- he will do it.
