I'm an Air Force brat, we traveled quite a bit while I was growing up. Had the good fortune to be in Peru when I was 12 and 13 years old. Occasionally a few of the Air Force families would go on excursions to abandoned ruins and have a picnic, and the kids would go off and dig around. One time I found two skulls and my friend found a sewing kit made of bone that was in a case of some kind of dense fiber. My mom put the skulls in her rock garden. :) I hope the government down there is protecting their archaeological sites better now than they were then. I can't imagine what their motivation is, unless it's fear that somebody will discover they weren't really the First Americans That's just what it is. There are too many perks tied in with sticking to the present narrative. You can't blame them, really. If I was in their situation I might do the same thing. They got a raw deal for a long time and now they're on a gravy train. But I do blame Clinton for destroying a very important and exciting archaeological site just for the sake of buying a few tribal votes. He probably didn't need them anyway....
