Hey Lakhota!
What do you think of what Trump and the President of Finland did for our Native American Indians.

The Hopi's here in Az. are pretty up set that the news is not talking about it.
I think we should celebrate!

Finland Agrees to Return Native American Remains to Tribes

The ancestral remains of Native American tribes that once called the cliffs of Mesa Verde National Park home will be repatriated as part of an agreement between Finland and the United States.

The White House on Wednesday announced the agreement involving the remains of about 20 people and 28 funerary objects taken from the Mesa Verde area more than 100 years ago. The remains and artifacts were unearthed during excavations by a Swedish researcher in 1891 and hundreds of items eventually became part of the collection of the National Museum of Finland.

President Donald Trump and Finnish President Sauli Niinisto acknowledged the sanctity of the items to the more than two dozen tribes with cultural connections to the Mesa Verde region, best known for hundreds of stone dwellings that early inhabitants constructed in cliffsides, said U.S. Interior Secretary David Bernhardt.

The agreement ensures the remains and items will be brought “to their proper resting place in the U.S,” Bernhardt said.

Clark Tenakhongva, vice chairman of the Hopi Tribe, said tribes hope to receive the collection by early next year and would ensure funerary items are buried with the remains in the
general area where they were taken, accompanied by a ceremony.
