How do you know whose dead are being dug up? Or that "your" people were there in days long gone?

Many of the "sites" that these people dig in are sacred, the scavengers come and plunder. The Kiva societies are alive and well today. Just because people see this as "days long gone" does not mean that it has no meaning.

And when I say "my people" I mean A.I.'s collectively - I am not of the Peacefull People (Kiva Societies)- but we are all equally plagued by the grave robbers.

They should leave these things alone, it is not good to disturb the past.

The documentary I saw on TV indicated there were knife marks on the bones, similar to butcher marks found on animal remains.

It is fine to disturb the past in order to learn from it.
When ancient cultures are unearthed their study allowed humanity to learn about them. This enriches us all and allows us all to share our common humanity. Nothing disrespectful need be done in this and any remains could be returned to the ground with respect and veneration.

I am not one to worship the past and feel no duty to those who lived hundreds of years before. Nor do I feel the present should be unduly restricted by the past. What is important is the future.
