Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe reburies ancestors


The Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe of Washington reburied 21 ancestors who were being held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

Kathy Duncan, the tribe's cultural resource officer, and her husband drove the remains back home. "I wouldn't think of shipping them," she told The Peninsula Daily News.

The ancestors were removed from their burial grounds in the late 1880s. They were reburied at the Jamestown Cemetery following a ceremony with the Lower Elwha Klallam and Port Gamble and Jamestown S'Klallam tribes.
