Boy, he looks like an IT guy in my company...

He looks like most of today's IT guys.

Seems to me that if the judgement hadn't been overturned, then every museum in the country would have had to fork over its human remains to anyone who could claim even a remote ancestry.

That was definitely the subtext, but it couldn't be mentioned.

"There was as many tribal indians in the Americas 9,300 years ago as there were Vietnamese and Swiss."

There are no skeletons of Native Americans/American Indians (as we know them today) ever found in North America that are older than 6,000 year old.
Some Native American FReepers have told me that it doesn't matter, who-ever was here, "that's us."
Assimilation(sp) works for me.

That's already happening. Buhl Woman, who looked like (from quick observation) Kennewick Man was reburied by the Indians immediately after it was discovered.

Katie bar the door. The Egyptians will be demanding their mummies back next.

I wonder if this judgement will stand?

Probably.
Common sense is returning slowly to our court system, albeit at a crawl.

And PC is increasingly being shown to be the fraud that it is, simply a way to manipulate other people.

Science is the only venue where artifacts like this one belong.

"Wow! Was this guy separated from Captain Picard at birth, or what?"

9,400 year old, Spirit Cave Man

I've read that there are eight of these Kennewick Man like skeletons around.
