Today, we learned about the found, and now missing, Native American remains on campus. We have gone through most of the "Cold Case" file and have answered some of our questions. We learned that there were two times remains were found, once in 1987 and once in 1992. We know where the 1992 remains are now, they were relocated behind the library, but there was miscommunication and we are uncertain of where the 1987 remains are. We are also unsure of what kind of Natives were found. People have speculated that they are either Mississippian or Cherokee. I am curious about where the remains from 1987 are and what tribe they come from. I wonder why the first find was so publicized, yet why the second was so secretive. Why can't we have a plaque indicating where they are buried behind the library? Though we have found some answers and context, I still have many questions.
