DUers who questioned the validity of the Geronimo skull poll I posted
here's an article on it. Link to the poll is at the bottom of the article if you're interested:

This is the story about the tribe who wants Geronimo's skull returned from the Skull and Bones idiots.

3. Ah yes but as the other natives say,
you screw with the spirits, they will screw with you. The Bushies are in line for some spiritual bad juju.

I made it 1274 and will forward to like minded souls!

9. Isn't it about fucking time they got paid back then
Between Geronimo, all of those killed by Hitler, everyone who died in the Vietnam War (and other CIA drug operations), JFK, RFK, MLK, possibly John Lennon, and everyone in Iraq...

How the HELL could anyone still be breathing under THAT load of bad karma. The continued existence of the Bush Criminal Empire helps me to understand the atheist viewpoint a lot better than I used to, because if God is still up there, He must be on one Hell of a long vacation to let these assholes operate for the better part of a century like this. :grr:

4. It seems
Histories cultural looters get away with their crimes too often.

Skull in boners needs to return Geronimo's skull.

The Smithsonian needs to return the countless skeletal remains they have sitting in storage taken from all the tribes burial grounds and the artifacts..In america and other countries.

The Vatican needs to return all the art, treasures and books(heretical or otherwise) stolen from various countries and squirreled away from others hidden in their vaults where no one can research it.

The uberrich art buyers need to return all the stolen artifacts texts and art stolen from the Iraq Museum.

GW Bush needs to Quit playing Texan because he is not southern in origin.

Cultural looters are thieves of the most disgusting sorts and usually they are wealthy.

21. What, exactly, does the Vatican have hidden?
The Smithsonian has a Repatriation Office; remains & artifacts can be reclaimed. www.nmnh.si.edu/anthro/repatriation/index.htm

You left off the big city museums. After I toured New York's Metropolitan, I was wondered that Egypt had any artifacts left.

7. The US govt also stole the Black Hills
and its gold from the Sioux.

Any idea how much gold they have taken out of the Black Hills since then?

11.  An aside...
I learned in my Native American Federal Law and Policy class that not only did *dumbass' grandfather steal Geronimo's skull, he used it as an ASHTRAY! Disgusting pukes!

I am now the 1301st signer. K and R!

13. Doesn't the NAGPRA Act apply in this case? They shouldn't have to
petition for the return.

15. I'm late to this discussion. It's well believed that Skull and Bones
have Geronimo's skull, and the facts suggest it could be so.

Stolen, of course.

16. I believe they have admitted they HAD it. They returned it within the
last few years, but whomever they allegedly returned it to claims that they gave a fake and still have the real skull.

18. Or maybe not....
http://www.straightdope.com/columns/051111.html

There's no conclusive evidence that Geronimo's remains were ever disturbed. Perhaps the grave should be exhumed first? Just to see what is there?
