	Kennewick Man
		Similarly, Dr. Chatters is now claiming that Kennewick Man is "an ancestor of all of us." In contradiction to his own findings about the bones, he has even gone to the extreme of inventing a new face for Kennewick Man with an "Indian" nose in order to please the media and the propaganda masters.

		Resemblance to the Ainu might account for Kennewick Man's Caucasoid features since the Ainu so closely resemble European and Middle Eastern populations that those populations were once thought to be related to one another, although DNA tests have shown that the Ainu are unrelated to any other living group.

	AlterNet: The Great White Myth of Kennewick Man
		Kennewick Man and his ilk may be part of a much more complicated story that we don't know much about yet.
		The first scientist to examine the bones, anthropologist James Chatters, reported that Kennewick Man's skull exhibited "caucasoid" characteristics -- a politically charged word that many interpreted to mean "caucasion," or "white." Indeed, Chatters says that he at first thought he was inspecting the skeleton of a white settler.
		That bit of mystery suggested that the scientists who wanted to study Kennewick Man and sample his DNA had a valid reason for doing so -- to see if he was white or not -- and made the Indian opposition look as if it was trying to mount a cover-up.

		But before she could get to the Kennewick Man, she had some other work to do, and Dr. Chatters had to wait for a while until she was ready.
		This explains why the Kennewick Man, Stick Man and other pre-Amerind North American relatives (as well as the Ainu of Japan) give an initial impression of being Caucasoid, since Whites are generally closer to the pre-split (and pre-Mongoloid) northern prototype, than are the Orientals who have diverged more strongly from it.
		Kennewick Man, in short, is not an Amerind, but a representative of the eastern branch of the early White or Proto-Caucasoid race.

	Kennewick Man debate heats up
		On Aug. 3, a team of Interior Department scientists examining Kennewick Man's remains will meet in Walla Walla, Wash., with American Indian tribal groups to outline their current investigation and announce plans to continue their efforts to better understand who Kennewick Man was and where he came from.
		The team members now believe that Kennewick Man, currently stored in Seattle's Burke Museum, was formally buried, and that he lay relatively undisturbed until wave action gouged away his resting place and tumbled his bones into the river.
		Kennewick Man may have been a Caucasoid, with the long-faced, beak-nosed facial type most frequently (but not exclusively) associated with Europeans.

	Kennewick Man: caught in the middle again.
		Kennewick Man appears to have died from the hit of an arrow and, 9300 years later, he continues to be the target of controversy.

		From the fossil’s tooth enamel, they’ll learn where Kennewick Man lived as a child, the kinds of food he ate, from where and whence he traveled, and when he died.
		Therefore, Kennewick Man’s teeth “should tell us about the temperature,” of his environment “and the source of water this individual was ingesting,” said Valley, as well as whether he grew up in a lower or higher latitude, close to the sea or far inland, high on a mountain or deep in a valley.

		Known as the Kennewick Man, this middle-aged individual with a healed spear wound in his hip died an unexplained and lonely death more millenniums ago than humans were supposed to have occupied that part of North America, according to anthropologists.

		A forensic anthropologist at Middle Tennessee State University is one of a select number of scientists to participate in the examination of a 9,300-year-old skeleton known as Kennewick Man that could force historians to rewrite the story of the entire North American continent.
		The burial miraculously saved the bones from the elements, the animals, machinery and man for centuries, and ancient deposits of calcium carbonate on the bones allowed the researchers to determine the positioning of the bones in the ground.
		Berryman says Kennewick has only begun to reveal the story of his life and times, and it would be tremendous to have other scientists examine his bones.

	Kennewick Man
		The discovery of a human ancestor variously referred to as Kennewick or Richland Man has shed light on the complexity of human immigration to the western hemisphere and ignited a controversy that may affect the future of paleoanthropology in the United States.
		He had suffered numerous injuries, the most severe of which were compound fractures of at least 6 ribs and apparent damage to his left shoulder musculature, atrophy of the left humerus due to the muscle damage, and the healing projectile wound in his right pelvis.
		No matter how long we might study the Kennewick man we would never know the form or color of his eyes, skin and hair, whether his hair was curly or straight, his lips thin or full -- in short many of the characteristics by which we judge living peoples' racial affiliation.

	SAAweb - Repatriation
		The Kennewick case will be the first court decision that rules on such fundamental questions as the meaning of "Native American," the meaning of "cultural affiliation," and the proper treatment of evidence concerning cultural affiliation.
		SAA agrees with the plaintiffs' general complaint that DOI's decision to culturally affiliate Kennewick Man with the five claimant tribes was not correct under the law.
		But even if we were to accept the argument that Kennewick Man's ancestors were a part of this ancient migration from Europe, Kennewick man would still have been indigenous to the U.S. under NAGPRA (since he was most likely born in what would become the U.S.) and thus, Native American, not European.

		The pelvis demonstrated that the skeleton belonged to a man. The length of the leg bones showed that he had been 5 feet 9 or 10 inches tall.
		The Army Corps of Engineers decided that this law applied to the Kennewick Man. It based its finding on the fact that the Kennewick bones were over 9,000 years old and were found on the traditional tribal lands of the Umatilla Indians.
		In fact, several of the tribes involved in the Kennewick case are interested in a scientific study of the bones.
