| Law->NAGPRA: Kenewick Man back in the news |
Posted on Friday, September 07 @ 21:13:13 CDT | |
AUTHOR: Knute Berger
Five years ago this July, an ancient skeleton was found on the banks of the
Columbia River during a hydroplane race near Kennewick, Washington. When
the bones turned out to be a major archaeological find, the remains of a
9,000 year-old prehistoric man, a political, legal, cultural, and racial
battle ensued. Just who was Kennewick Man, who owned his bones, and what
should be done with them?
The Indians and Federal government have argued that the law --
specifically, the 1990 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation
Act -- gives local tribes, including the Umatilla, Colville, Yakama, and
Nez Perce, the right to have the bones, and the right to dispose of them in
any way they choose.
The Indians have dubbed Kennewick Man "the Ancient
One" and claim the right to rebury him according to their traditional
practices with or without further study. But a group of prominent
scientists has disagreed, choosing instead to challenge the law in Federal
court, where arguments are being heard this week and a ruling is expected
later this summer.
This article about kennewick man has moved to our new section on the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation.
