That’s heresy to the Injins. Remember how they tried to keep Kennewick man from being studies, especially after they figured out he looked like Patrick Stewart?

I just have one question. Where my casino?

yes.

and the clinton administration helped the indians out,

Kennewick Man is, indeed, an interesting chapter in the history of suppression of genuine research in favor of political correctness.

An old professor of Indian migration that I once knew was scorned by most of his professional colleagues for stating that at least some Native American tribes moved here from somewhere other than the popular Bering Straight land-bridge source.

To agree with the orthodox view is to scorn the ancient people as inferior and incapable of moving over large bodies of water. While comforting to the superiority complex of modern man, it does not explain how evidence of the existence of ancient man in islands which could not have been reached by land bridges also weakens the orthodox theory that 100% of ancient man in places connected by land bridges could only have migrated in such manner.
