Hi Sue-
I find this article interesting but also irritating.
It is obvious that the scientists don't want to have
native people swoop in and demand the return of
these people in their resting place, and that the
remains treated with dignity.
Surely the DNA evidence would show native origins,
especially during that relatively recent time
period. I noticed that they didn't provide DNA
information on what group of people these
individuals were actually related to. If they were
even remotely European, they would have proclaimed
that in all the headlines around the world. "Native
people not here first!" would have been resounding.
So it is basically supression of information with
dubious claims, to retain the specimens longer.
The "Kennewick Man" find proved just how trustworthy
scientists can be, and how they try to keep
disturbing resting places of native people, and then
refuse to return the remains.
Sorry Sue, this rant isn't aimed at you, it's just
frustrating to see ancient people treated so
disrespectfully in death, and how outlandish the
researchers can hypothesize when confronted with the
truth. For all their learning, so many of them can
be so inept their respective field of study.
As an enrolled member of mt tribe, I get barraged by
a lot of bad science and bad history all of the
time. So I'm afraid that I am not as forgiving as I
should be. I suppose I should work at it.

Personally thought the bog was handled respectfully
and some of it was left untouched for science to catch
up. On the flip side I have read articles where
remains were gving to Native Americans and later found
there was no relation at all to them. What was said is
there is no relation to any surviving Natives per DNA.
I wondered about the European link as well. Its always
easier to rule out the find the answer. Time will
tell.
