The Nebraska State Patrol Crime Lab will be examining some bone fragments recently uncovered at the University of Nebraska's Lincoln East Campus to determine if they are human or animal.

A specially-trained search dog found the bones, which are believed to be Native American. A group of tribes have been trying to track down what the school did with remains it incinerated more than 30 years ago.

The school believes the ashes may be in a city landfill. Some of them, however, may still be on the school' campus.
