Description

Kennewick Man, referred to as the Ancient One to Native Americans, has been the lightning rod for conflict between archaeologists and indigenous peoples in the US. A decade-long legal case pitted scientists against Native American communities and highlighted the shortcomings of the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), designed to give protection to Native remains. On this volume, we hear from the many sides of this issue―archaeologists, tribal leaders, and others―in addition to views from the international community. The wider implications of the case and its resolution is explored. Comparisons are made to an identical cases in other countries and how they have got been handled. Appendixes give you the legal decisions, appeals, and chronology to permit full exploration of this landmark legal struggle. An excellent starting point for discussion of this case in anthropology, archaeology, Native American studies, and cultural property law courses. Sponsored by the World Archaeological Congress.
