The Kennewick Man litigation is still pending and, depending
on the outcome, may provide significant and important judicial
case law interpreting the Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act. Paula is one of the attorneys representing
eight anthropologists in their quest to study the skeleton. She
will present an overview of the litigation to help understand
the theories that are presently before the U.S. District Court
for the District of Oregon. She will also discuss the interests
of some of the scientists who are seeking study rights, and why,
and explain what is likely to happen over the next six months
in this interesting litigation. Because the case is still pending,
this is intended to be an informative discussion and not an argument
for or against any party's position in the case.
