What if This were an Indian Burial Ground?

What if This were an Indian Burial Ground?
Here in Washington state, we're fighting a big battle of a set of 9,000 year-old bones discovered along the Columbia River. The Indian tribes demand that the bones be returned to them for reburial. But, because the bones appear to be those of a European, scientists want custody for study to determine if, in fact the bones are those of a European.
Liberal sentiment seems to side with the Indians, that Indian graves should not be disturbed. But, in England, archeologists are digging up a 4300 hundred year-old burial ground near Stonehenge. And nobody seems to be complaining of grave desecration. I suspect that the UN would get involved if a similar dig were conducted in this country.
