Representatives of tribes in New York and Rhode Island are protesting the construction on a burial site on Long Island that dates to 1410 A.D.
Last October, a family discovered the remains of 10 individuals on their land. At the time, it was believed the family would stop construction of a horse barn.
But the barn was still built, upsetting tribal leaders. Representatives of the Shinnecock Nation, a state-recognized tribe on Long Island, say the site has been desecrated.
