I thought that a court (or an expert) had declared Kennewick man to be Caucasian?

“I thought that a court (or an expert) had declared Kennewick man to be Caucasian?”

It gets political. If the truth reveals that the current “Native Americans” weren’t the first people to populate the Americas, then they lose some of their perceived “right” to claim to be the displaced rightful “owners” of the land.

Yeah, that’s what I thought; Kennewick man = a white dude.
Seems I recall Bruce Babbit (Cinton’s secretary of the interior) bulldozed the entire area as it conflicted with the usual narrative of Asiatic people being the original inhabitants of the American continents.

Native Americans as well as Indians are caucasians. There are only 3 true races of humans.

I’m glad they got to study Kennewick man before he was laid to rest-they had a long fight to get to do it.

The DNA testing on Native remains shows that most of them were a mix of Eurasian/Asian/Caucasian from the gitgo-with individuals having varying amounts of those ethnicities/races-Kennewick man apparently had more Caucasian DNA than some others did-so do many Cherokees, and some other tribes even now. I see that as a good thing-that people have always been mixed up-so why the hell are liberals still so hung up on race?
