Dem bones
I certainly think that we newcomers to this shore have been horribly unfair and cruel to the Native Americans. However, I think it’s in everyone’s best interests to learn who Kennewick Man really is and how he got here. It’s a very important scientific discovery, and I would think Americans of all ethnicities would like to know more about someone who may be our ancestor. Surely after we have learned all we can from these bones, they can be returned to the earth with respect and thanks? Maybe I’m prejudiced in this case because I am a) of European descent; and b) the daughter of a scientist, but the fact that these bones were even found is a gift that shouldn’t be ignored.
