Canadian Aboriginals and Alaska Natives are giving blood samples this week in hopes of finding a link between their respective communities and a 500-year-old man discovered in British Columbia.

Known as Kwaday Dan Sinchi, or "Long Ago Man Found," he may be related to a number of First Nations or Alaska Native tribes since he was found in an area where shared by many. The clothes he wore reflect a number of different cultural styles in the region as well.
