Residents of Hutchinson Island in Florida want to ensure an Indian burial ground uncovered by the recent hurricanes is protected but the decision will be left up to the state.
State officials will be meeting to discuss the fate of the 2,000-year-old site. They are supposed to consult with the Miccosukee Tribe and Seminole Tribe before further action is taken.
The storms uncovered three graves and other artifacts. The site is being watched to prevent looting.
