A member of the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community of Michigan is looking for answers after his family's grave site was desecrated.
Glen Bressette Jr. went to his great grandparents' grave last week and became upset by what he found.
"When I got there, the top of their grave was open, maybe a couple of feet wide, a foot deep, with a plastic pipe over the top," Bressette told WLUC-TV. "There's been a disruption on the trail of spirits for my ancestors."
Bressette said he's called the Marquette Diocese and his tribe but hasn't gotten a response. The church says it has no authority over the land, which is part of the reservation.
