This has happened several times, where skeletons exhibiting clearly
caucasian features dating back 10-14ky were seized by the courts and
given to the tribes to hide or destroy. The political fear is the idea
that the indians ancestors may have stolen the new world from
caucasians (so it was our historical right to take it back), thus
negating their historical claims.
