The Search for the First Americans
Kennewick Man head, clay model, anthropological find from Columbia River, Washington State (AP) Email to friend
Murder was the first explanation for a set of bones found along the Columbia River in 1996. But the skeleton, now known as Kennewick Man, turned out to be as much as 9,300 hundred years old. Since the discovery, Kennewick Man has been upsetting conventional scientific wisdom about the habits and identity of the first inhabitants of America. He has also sparked a legal, and philosophical controversy over the question of who owns the past -- is it the scientist who wants to study it, on the Native American who claims Kennewick Man as her ancestor?
