Reburial becomes cause for scientists
- Continued from p. 1
their feelings about seeing their ancestors' bones in displays, brought about a sincere interest in finding a common solution and a common
"There was this desire to cooperate and to make things happen," he said.
Witty said the initial confrontation might have been necessary to get the attention of the archaeologists and anthropologists.
echo Hawk, in a Native American Rights Fund publication, wrote that society must reject as racism the American dead are trophies and specimens.
And he gave as an example the Nebraska Historical Society, which has resisted returning to the Pawnee tribe 307 of their dead.
Nearly 200 of the Pawnee dead held as the property of the society were
buried little more than 100 years ago, he said.
Douglas Owlesy, forensic anthropologist at the Smithsonian Institution, said that out of the skeletal remains of 150 Indians, 29 had been identified.
An overzealous military commander ordered these Indian bodies dug up at night and sent to an army camp. He used a study of gunshot wounds, he said.
Of these 29, the remains of 15 were returned to the Blackfoot tribe in Montana.
Negotiations with the tribes continue concerning the remaining 14, Owlsley said, emphasizing that when bodies were obtained unethical, as in the case of the 29, the Smithsonian works to return them.
Joseph Geronimo, the great-grand son of the famous Apache medicine
man and leader Geronimo, said he was opposed to digging up graves for any reason because it was against ancient Apache law.
"How would white people like it if we took Ulysses S. Grant or President Andrew Jackson and put his bones in our tribal museums to attract tourists? How would they like it if we took President Johnson's remains and put on it on display at the museum, you know," said Joseph Geronimo, who was a tribital councilman for eight years.
Tom Montezaune, an Indian activist from Indiana, said that every weekend he photographed and documented the murders, which were seen in digs for rapney or collections.
Montezuma said that over 90 percent of all graves that archaeologists found had already been despatched.
About $250,000 worth of sacred
objects were taken from a Kentucky site, he said.
"I appreciate the other religions Buddhist, Christian," he said.
Montezuma said that Dennis Banks and the American Indian Movement put the rebutral issue on the map and that the issue was bringing Indian and non-Indian people together in a common cause.
"People don't believe we have a god. They think we're pagans.
Banks, a founder of the movement,
who travels widely in the United
States and Japan, lives in South
Dakota.
"Now, in 1989, these beliefs make it very easy to pick up a shovel and dig up our bones.
... there are spirits — the spirit of a tree, an eagle, or the spirit of each other," Banks said.

The institute will treat injured athletes and give fitness evaluations to people who have never exercised regularly, he said.
Fitness evaluations are most popular with middle-aged people who are just beginning to exercise, Munns said.
"They want to start exercising but they don't want to have a heart attack while exercising," Munns said.

"The demand is clearly there," Munns said.
A temporary sports medicine department will open sometime his summer for injury treatment and diagnosis, he said However. He will not have the recreational facilities hat the fitness center will.
The advantage of having these fitness facilities for injured athletes to use is that all rehabilitation will be done at the center, he said. If problems arise, specialists will be there to help.
