Perhaps these Caucasoid, even Europoid, skeletons were just those of early explorers, a la DeSoto, or Cabeza de Vaca, or Coronado or La Salle, who came to grief in the wilds of North America!

BUT ONE THING IS SURE! The tribes that are trying to interfere with science and with the fair use of their bones FOR science, are both obscurantist and evil, and also are unaware of their own histories, for those tribes/cultures/peoples in no case can be shown to have been in those regions for even a THOUSAND years, to say nothing of nine to twelve thousand years.

Sheesh!
