Morning, Jack for U and others, I've added a SEARCH link to the archives on the main INPCRP page. This is provided through Rootsweb on all their email lists. You can search for text, but you have to click on different years. Slow but it's all there. And the Co. commission's item below is linked toward the bottom on the Indiana Laws link. http://www.rootsweb.com/~inpcrp/Links_to_the_Indiana_laws.htm It looks like I have two different links in that box. ??? ;-) Please don't hesitate to send those ideas. There are probably links missing still or moved around. I tried to separate some of the material so the main page wouldn't be so long. I also have been adding 2006 story links, so send them to us.

Ancient Puebloans reburied at park 'Wrong righted' at Mesa Verde, says N.M. tribal leader STORY TOOLS Email this story | Print By Jim Erickson, Rocky Mountain News May 5, 2006 TOWAOC - "A wrong has been righted," a New Mexico tribal leader said Thursday of the recent reburial in Mesa Verde National Park of the remains of more than 1,500 Ancestral Puebloans. The prehistoric corn, squash and bean farmers had been unearthed in archaeological excavations spanning more than a century. "Finally they have been reburied so they can continue to make their journey," said Peter Pino, tribal administrator for the Zia Pueblo in north-central New Mexico. New Mexico's Zia, Acoma and Zuni pueblos and Arizona's Hopi tribe worked with park officials to finalize a repatriation agreement signed in December. Last month, Hopi officials reburied 1,560 sets of human remains, including 455 nearly complete skeletons, said Linda Towle, the park's chief of research and resource management. Also buried were 4,937 related funerary objects. More than 90 percent of the human remains were unearthed during archaeological excavations between the 1880s and the 1960s at Mesa Verde. The bones are 700 to 1,550 years old, Towle said. The bones and artifacts were reburied at a remote, undisclosed backcountry site, she said during the second day of the park's three- day centennial archaeology symposium. About 100 people are attending the meeting at the Ute Mountain casino in Towaoc, 11 miles south of Cortez. Last month's reburial was the culmination of a 13-year negotiation that initially involved 24 tribes. It was one of the largest reburials since the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, known as NAGPRA, was passed in 1990. That law requires museums and federal agencies to return American Indian remains, funerary items, sacred objects and other goods to the descendents of the dead or to culturally affiliated tribes. "It's long overdue, and it's what every human being deserves, whether you're Native American or Anglo," said Leigh Kuwanwisiwma, director of the Hopi cultural preservation office. "The disturbance of burial grounds is a violation of spiritual law," Kuwanwisiwma said. "This particular reburial did ease our minds that the final journey would finally go toward closure." Towle said the grave goods included pottery, beads and other jewelry, stone tools and turkey-feather blankets. Everything was buried several feet deep, under a "huge mound of very rocky soil." Only a handful of park employees know the exact burial location, which is inaccessible in the winter and is patrolled by park law enforcement officers in the summer. Kuwanwisiwma said security was a big concern for all the tribes involved in the repatriation negotiations. He said the Hopis are satisfied with the park's security measures and feel confident that the remains and grave goods are safe from thieves. Kuwanwisiwma was present at the reburial, which he said did not involve a ceremony, prayers or songs. "It was simply a reburial," he said. Twenty-four tribes initially told park officials that they believed their people are descendents of the prehistoric Mesa Verde dwellers. Later, those 24 tribes selected the Hopi, Zuni, Zia and Acoma to represent them in the negotiations. The prehistoric farmers of the Four Corners area have long been known to archaeologists as the Anasazi. Federal officials and some others now refer to them as the Ancestral Puebloans. Under NAGPRA, Mesa Verde National Park was required to inventory all the American Indian human remains, grave goods and sacred objects in its collection, which includes about 73 million items. A team of researchers searched every box and cabinet in the collection, a process that took months to complete, Towle said. "We promised the tribes early on that we would rebury their ancestors in the park," she said. "We're very pleased that we have been able to accomplish that. We never thought it would take this long." The Zia Pueblo's Pino said his people believe that the spirit endures after the body dies, and that people get "recycled" into new bodies. But first the spirit must travel to the underworld to get its "next assignment," he said. Exhuming a body and hauling it off to a museum interrupts that journey, leaving the spirit in a sort of limbo state between incarnations. "What you're doing is cutting off the journey to the underworld for the next assignment," he said. "It puts a lot of things off balance." But the reburial allows the interrupted journey to resume, he said. "A wrong has been righted, and that's good for all of us," Pino said.Under the law 32,052 sets of human remains and 660,222 related funerary objects, have been repatriated by the NAGPRA ericksonj@RockyMountainNews.com or 303-892-5129

Our field trip last week went wonderfully! The students really enjoyed it and we got a lot of work done. I have a list of over 30 phone numbers to call this summer for more help (it's just too bad they can't drive yet!). The local newspaper came out and did a story, which actually came out very well. (I'm sure everyone has had experiences with them getting everything all wrong!)

Dear Jack, You didn't do anything wrong here. I was just suggesting she might respond to your question if you send it to her directly. As for her or several others responding on this list, I'm afraid all the bashing will prevent the answers you seek. In other words, you will most likely not get an answer on THIS email list. It's true DHPA has jurisdiction over the cemeteries in Indiana. There are also others locally who should be responsible in each County as well. An area I think we all need to understand better and continue working on in each County. I haven't talked to our county commissioners yet, someday I hope to. But in this County we have a very efficient Area Plan Commission that guards these cemeteries very well. Not that things haven't gone wrong before. We still have contractors who beat the odds by cutting the lane and build practically right on top of the platted cemetery. There are many things we can do to help protect our cemeteries. And that is a great topic for the next discussion. Yes your questions are valid to the list. I was merely trying to make a clear for you and others. Hopefully I've done that this morning.

I agree also, Sheila and rest. We need to get back to what we started helping other with cemetery work and solving problems together. Joan Wray LA , I agree with what Joan says above.

But that is her decision or job to make for herself. I thought that I was discussing a very important issue that I had not ran into in all of my years of cemetery work.

Jack, I had this problem about three weeks ago. Here is the e-mail reply I got from Jeannie if it will help. Q is my questions and A is her answers: Subject: RE: New burial in a Pioneer cemetery? From: "Regan-Dinius, Jeannie" <JRDinius@dnr.IN.gov> To: "Ernie & Connie Lasley" <elasley@sigecom.net> Ernie: Q: So the big question is, can a person be buried in an old Pioneer Cemetery? A: Burials are the jurisdiction of the Board of Health. Check with your local Board of Health to see about this issue. Q: Since his family has owned the land for 125 years, can he rename the cemetery and declare it as his final resting place? A: There is no official law on naming a cemetery. Unfortunately, people rename them to suit their needs. Q: There are existing laws that a cemetery must be platted and must have a perpetual care fund before a person can be buried there? A: You are correct, but again, this falls under the Board of Health. Q: What about "disposal of a body" laws? A: Department of Health Q: Is the funeral home responsible for determining if the selected burial place is legal and proper? A: I am not sure of the answer to this question. Q: Will digging a grave there violate the DNR and DHPA rule on needing a permit to disturb the earth within 100 feet of a cemetery? A: No, if the digging falls under the General Cemetery Act. Q: Whose responsibility is it to enforce those laws? A: Mostly for what you describe, Department of Health. Let me know if I helped or only made matters worse.
