OCTOBER 2, 2000 Parts of the femur, or upper leg, have been missing from Kennewick Man for two years and the FBI continues to investigate their disappearance. The bone parts were last seen when James Chatters, the archaeologist who first studied the bones, videotaped them. He then turned them over to the Army Corps of Engineers. The Army Corps of Engineers consulted with local tribes and attempted to repatriate them. They were hindered by a lawsuit and by Department of Interior intervention into the issue. The Interior last week ruled that the bones are culturally affiliated to five Northwest tribes who have been asserting claims to him all along. He was found on Umatilla tribal land which was ceded to the government in 1855. Get the Story:
