TUESDAY, AUGUST 14, 2001 A trained dog has been commissioned to find the missing bones of Indian ancestors on the University of Nebraska at Lincoln campus. During the years of 1965 to 1967, the school incinerated Indian gones and their location is now in question. The bones may have been taken to a dump or may still be located on the East Campus of the University. The school has committed to have the remains fenced off and to establish a memorial in their honor, regardless of where they are located. A Virginia firm that specializes in the location of bones will bring the dog next month. Ralph Thomas, a Nebraska Santee Sioux tribal member who now lives in California, is spearheading the effort.
