The Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma and the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation of North Carolina last week helped rebury the remains of two Indian children discovered at a jail site in West Virginia.

The remains were discovered as part of pre-construction efforts for the jail. The Associated Press does not identify the age of the remains, just that they were found in a "prehistoric American Indian hunting camp."

The two tribes participated because of their historical and aboriginal connection to the area.
