Discover the captivating story of Skull Wars: Kennewick Man, Archaeology, And The Battle For Native American Identity. This groundbreaking book delves into the controversial discovery of a 9,000-year-old Caucasoid skeleton near Kennewick, Washington, and the ensuing legal battle that sparked a fundamental question: Who owns history?
Uncover the explosive controversy and resulting lawsuit that brought to light the clash between archeologists and Native Americans. Many Indians perceive the actions of archeologists as desecration of sacred tribal rites and traditions. Meanwhile, archeologists face threats to their livelihoods and scientific pursuits due to the 1990 Federal reparation law, which grants tribes control over remains in their traditional territories.
Renowned author Thomas skillfully narrates this riveting tale, drawing from his own experience in fostering cooperation between the two sides. His first-hand insights and expertise lend immense credibility to this thought-provoking account of the archeologists' deteriorating relations with American Indians and the rise of scientific archeology.
