Three Pacific Northwest tribes who claim Kennewick Man as an ancestor asked the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday to grant them a role in the dispute.
The Nez Perce, Umatilla and Yakama tribes were kicked off the case by a federal judge after the 9th Circuit said they had no claim to the remains. But the tribes say they have a right under the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979.
The scientists who want to study the remains say the case is over. A lawyer said the tribes' appeal will have no impact.
