Tribes seek role in Kennewick Man proceedings
Wednesday, February 16, 2005
Three Pacific Northwest tribes who claim Kennewick Man as an ancestor asked the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday to grant them a role in the dispute.
The Nez Perce, Umatilla and Yakama tribes were kicked off the case by a federal judge after the 9th Circuit said they had no claim to the remains. But the tribes say they have a right under the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979.
The scientists who want to study the remains say the case is over. A lawyer said the tribes' appeal will have no impact.
