A 9000-year-old skeleton known as The Kennewick Man was discovered in 1996 on the banks of the Columbia River. He had six badly healed broken ribs as well as a stone dart buried in his pelvis. He is an ancient skeleton discovered thousands of years ago, has now been buried.
The Kennewick Man is one of the world's most famous extinct human remains, and some believe he may have returned home. In March of 2018, scientists from the US National Museum of Natural History conducted a DNA test on hair samples that was found at the scene where the man was discovered in 1996. The tests indicated that it likely belonged to a modern-day person rather than an Indigenous American as previously thought.
This new information has caused renewed interest in bringing him back to his homeland for further study. If confirmed, this would be one of history's most significant moments related to Native Americans and culture preservation. It is also possible that additional specimens found at the scene could reveal more about who he was and how he became associated with those sites where he was discovered.
