Kennewick Man revisited
Newsvine - Bill Would Help Study of Ancient Remains
There is an irony in this. The former President George H.W. Bush signed the "repatriation" act that caused quite a stir in the scientific community leading to the actions cited, relatively new legislation. He and the current President (and others) are or were part of the "Skull and Bones" club, an "elite" group in operation at Yale University, which it is alleged in the early 20th century excavated the skull and other effects of the once Apache leader Geronimo, and subsequently, "treated" the skull and it is kept as part of some ceremony at the multi-million dollar endowed "club" there that produced many leaders in government (so has other Yale "clubs". At Princeton U., they had "dining clubs" I heard, no commissary on campus, except at the then "new" Forbes College which had a cafeteria when I was there for a "Computers and Archaeology" conference years ago, where nearby I had dug hundreds of gridded holes. There I met Anna Roosevelt, an archaeologist, grand-daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt, our company (of 4 or 5) had assisted in mapping research at the Marajo Island mounds in Brazil). There have been repeated requests, the last actually produced a specimen that obviously was not the alleged adult, and a petition is currently circulated for a full investigation by the authorities.
