About this title: The 1996 discovery, near Kennewick, Washington, of a 9,000-year-old Caucasoid skeleton brought more to the surface than bones. The explosive controversy and resulting lawsuit also raised a far more fundamental question: Who owns history? Many Indians see archeologists as desecrators of tribal rites and traditions; archeologists see their livelihoods and science threatened by the 1990 Federal reparation law, which gives tribes control over remains in their traditional territories. In this new work, Thomas charts the riveting story of this lawsuit, the archeologists deteriorating relations ...

Description: Centered on the lawsuit over Kennewick Man, this lively history illuminates one of the most contentious issues in science: the battle between archeologists and American Indians. read more
"Thomas's analysis of the Kennewick Man controversy in all its complexity is impressive, particularly by the fact that he dismisses nobody while respectfully disagreeing with some."
"If ever there was a book that archeologists should read this is it! Its the greatest combination of Native American history and archaeology put together. For those that don't know archaeological history, it can make or break and early archaeologist. Two words: white guilt"
"Probably one of the best books ever written on the on-going relationship between archaeologists and Native people in the U.S. Penetrating analysis, long-view social history, and political activism are all wound up in this tale of the battle over skulls. The edition I had was published before the announcement of the Kennewick Man/Ancient One decision, but I suspect that future editions will include that, and new controversies as they spring up."
"I had to read this for grad school. Pretty good book. Gives a lot of history on how the US government and various museums treated Native Americans (poorly) and how this has now lead to a battle over Kennewick Man."
