Summary: About 15,000 years ago, sea-faring people made their way from what is now Japan along the North Pacific rim to what is now the First Nations region. It was only later that the Bering land bridge migration occurred, those peoples integrating with the first settlers. This article offers a fascinating look into the intersection of cutting-edge archeology and tribal/governmental politics.<p>If anybody has any insight into the Corps of Engineer's behavior that was discussed in the article, I'd love to hear it.
Once the courts had ruled, why didn't/doesn't the Corps cooperate with the scientists, e.g., letting them study the actual spear tip? At that point, they have nothing to lose.<p>In fact, if they simply handed the bones off to the Smithsonian or whoever, they could've washed their hands of the whole thing. The fact that they didn't do so indicates to me that they wanted to hold onto the bones as a bargaining chip with the native tribes.
If you're feeling silly and want to waste a couple hours, read about the nephilim giant skeletons of north america. It's some top notch crazy X-Files entertainment.<p>There are thousands of accounts and plenty of photographs of ancient unearthed 9ft tall skeletons in north america. Allegedly the smithsonian has a bunch of them but won't let people look at them.<p><a href="http://monessasmontage.wordpress.com/2013/03/28/jim-vieira-presentation-on-ancient-stone-structures-in-new-england/" rel="nofollow">http://monessasmontage.wordpress.com/2013/03/28/jim-vieira-p...</a><p><a href="http://tnephilim.blogspot.com/2012/01/giant-human-nephilim-in-north-american.html" rel="nofollow">http://tnephilim.blogspot.com/2012/01/giant-human-nephilim-i...</a>
