The Northwestern Band of Shoshone held a ceremony on Friday to rebury 84 sets of human remains in This Is the Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The remains date from 500 to 1,500 years old. They were unearthed when the floodwaters of the Great Salt Lake receded some 14 years ago.

The remains are buried in an unmarked tomb in the park, which is dedicated to Mormon pioneers.
