Bonnichsen was one of eight scientists who sued soon after the 9,300-year-old skeleton was discovered in July 1996 in Kennewick, Wash.
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.
