MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2001 After four years of discussions, debate and dissension, the remains of over 800 Native ancestors were repatriated to 16 Plains tribes for reburial over the weekend. The University of Nebraska at Lincoln handed over the remains last week and they were reburied during a private ceremony on Saturday. The repatriation followed four years of talks and the recent dedication of a memorial to the remains at the school's Lincoln campus, where other bones were incinerated and dumped in a landfill.
