we all need to be informed about skeletal remains and their origin or we
risk leaving the door open
for misuse of remains.
When we educate ourselves then we are informed...be it skeletal remains or
funerary objects
or associated artifacts........all burial sites are sacred~!!!
yours/mine/theirs
and this is also precisely why we have the _Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act_ (
http://www.nps.gov/history/nagpra/)
and for those who are not interested...then merely delete...Thank you!!
