Linking (or not) ancient remains to modern-day tribes

In "Indian remains spark a debate," The Salt Lake Tribune has started to build the case that mummified bodies that once lay in Utah's relatively obscure (until newspapers such as The New York Times started writing about it this week) Range Creek area may not be able to be linked to modern-day tribes. The Trib bases this observation in part on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit's February decision in Bonnichsen v. United States, also known as the "Kennewick Man" case.
