Kennewick Man to return to Native Americans for reburial



One of the oldest and most complete skeletons found in North America will be given back to American Indian tribes in Washington state for reburial.



Experts estimate the remains found in 1996 on federal land near the Columbia River are at least 8,400 years old. The discovery triggered a lengthy legal fight between tribes and scientists over whether the bones should be buried immediately or studied.
