Haskell says graves in proposed highway

THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 2001

Haskell Indian Nations University officials on Wednesday met with Kansas highway consultants for seven hours with no clear movement on a proposed highway that runs through a wetlands area where former students are believed to be buried.

The school's board of regents has protested the highway plan because it runs through the area. Now, after meeting with tribal elders, a state consultant says he believes there are graves there.
