As you probably know, the Kennewick controversy is driven by fear that showing a group living in North America an dnot related to current Native American groups will undermine the "Natives" precedence and property claims and the emotional basis of much of the compensation and payments they now recieve from various levels of government. Kennewick Man isn't their ancestor, and that's their worry..... "The Kennewick Man, a 9,300 year old skeleton was discovered in 1996 on the banks of the Columbia River near the Washington town of Kennewick. The skeleton was caught in a controversy because the Native American groups did not wish the body of an ancestor to be dishonored. On the other hand, there was much interest to study the skeleton further because its features were very different from that of the typical north Asian type from which the Native Americans are descended."
