State seeks to protect graves and rebury skeletal remains
by Marian Weeks Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA — For nearly 50 years, the skeletal remains of 146 ancestors of the Pawnee, Arikara and Wichita tribes have been on display as a tourist attraction in a burial pit near Salina.
The Kansas Legislative Research Department has estimated that the burial pit赞$20,000 a year. The department is building an
Yesterday, at a house Committee on Federal and State Affairs hearing on the Kansas Unmarked Human Burial Sites Preservation Act, Saline County Commissioner Penny Giest announced that the owners of the ancestral burial pit had signed an agreement which provided for the conditional sale of the cemetery for $80,000.
She held up a manila envelope and said that the agreement involved all the parties.
"I think all the parties are very pleased" with the agreement. Gist said.
"The people of Salina would be outraged if the people of our other cemeteries were to be left uncovered," she said.
The parties agreed that the 146 bodies would be rebalanced in accord with their religious and burial plans.
The agreement requires the owners to sell the "Indian burial pit" to the state for $90,000, provided the legislature appropriates the money for the purchase during this legislative session.
The owners may operate the tourist attraction until the sale is completed.
If the sale is completed, objects found with the deceased ancestors would be returned to the Pawnee tree.
The parties would also agree to support the Kansas Unmarked Human Burial Sites Preservation Act.
The act would protect unmarked cemeteries and graves of human beings and make displays such as the Salina burial pit illegal in the future, except for educational, medical or scientific reasons.
The bill would also establish a board to contact the nearest relatives or interested parties of those found in
The bill affirms that it is illegal for someone to own the bones of another human being.
Objects found with bodies in the graves are to be reburied with the bodies, according to the bill.
Graves are often found during construction, farming and road building.
The bill does not apply to state museum collections. Al Johnson, director of the KU anthropology museum, said the bill would protect the rights of Indians. He said he supported the bill even though it would require him to go before the board for permits to display and excavate contents of graves, including bodies.
Wedding rings and Bibles found buried with the dead in Western culture are comparable to sacred objects buried with Indian people, said Ed Britsw, an attorney for the Native American Rights Fund.
As global citizens, the accomplishments of all citizens should be noted, respected and studied, he said.
Attorney General Robert Stephan said the bill should protect graves and human remains no matter how old
He said this was a small price to pay for protecting the meteological information that was swiftly being desecrated.
The saina outlair of pre-excuses how today human remains can be treated . . . "he said. "The state certainly has the authority to dictate how human remains should be handled."
Harrison Field, a Pawnee tribal councilman from Pawnee, Okla., and other Indian people conducted a symposium in Salina in October to share their views with Saline County residents.
People in Kansas did not realize that there were Indian people who felt so concerned about their ancestors' graves, Field said.
on the other hand, Field said a man from Lincoln, Neb., called the Pawnee tribe to tell him that he and a friend still had a Pawnee body they had dug up 20 years ago.
He said his tribe was having difficulty getting 300 Pawnee bodies back from Nebraska.
"It's depressing." Field said.
Walter Echo Hawk, Native American Rights Fund attorney for the tribes, said that information about the first Kansans could be shared without violating the cultural integrity of the people that were being studied.
The man had read about the rebalr movement in the newspaper and was sensitized to the issue. Field said.
"You can convey data and information to the public without putting an entire cemetery on display," Echo Hawk said.
Field said that he recently read of 27 soldiers from the War of 1812 found in Canada.
"I think the Indian philosophy is that all people are sacred and the sanctity of their final resting places should not be disturbed."
"Fair enough." Johnson said.
The soldiers were returned and given a full military funeral in New York, yet his tribe had to struggle to get back home.
Echo Hawk said that cases of real illness he called spirit sickness occurred from people seeing or knowing what was happening.
The workmen had already dug up the bones, Witty said. One construction worker kept the long bones, the other kept the short ones. The skull was tossed into the back of the truck with beer cans and oil rags.
