A patron came in Wednesday evening to find out whether Indian Country Today had written anything about new developments in the scientific study of Kennewick Man. We didn't find it in the paper newspaper, but their website has a story, posted on July 25, Study Begins on Kennewick Man.
We have a couple of books about Kennewick Man--and he figures in any fairly current book about North American archaeology--but of course nothing in books is as current as this month's news. There's a July 19 New York Times article available from the Proquest Newspaper database. (It will ask you for a username; call the library). An editorial in Wednesday's Seattle Times pointed out that the Senate Indian Affairs Committee is holding an oversight hearing on NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act), so we can assume there may be lots more political news before there is much scientific news.
