Skeleton Case Challeges 'Native American'
With both sides clashing over the definition of 'Native American,' an appeals court heard arguments Wednesday on whether a 9,300-year-old skeleton known as Kennewick Man belongs to scientists or Indian tribes.
The Interior Department has been fighting with scientists over control of the bones since they were discovered in 1996 along the banks of the Columbia River near Kennewick, Wash.

{How about a way to include all of us? That these bones are of somone old enough that we all belong to them? Back when none of us were white and all of us were brown. It's the crimes of science, and the economic culture behind it, that are still in the way, unhealed and divisive.}
