  • Skull & Bones Wins Lawsuit

    I can see why our Native Americans are pissed off by this.
    Yale Secret Society Skull and Bones Wins Lawsuit Over Geronimo’s RemainsPosted Aug 11, 2010 11:49 AM CST
    By Martha Neil
    A student secret society at Yale University has won a court battle, at least for now, over remains of the Apache warrior Geronimo that a member or members of Skull and Bones allegedly stole from his grave at a prisoner-of-war cemetery at Fort Sill, Okla., around 1918, and brought to its headquarters in New Haven, Conn.
    Siding with an argument by the U.S. Department of Justice, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., held that the government hadn't waived its sovereign immunity, and hence federal officials can't be sued in the case to force them to permit Geronimo's descendants to remove his remains still at Fort Sill and reinter them in New Mexico near his birthplace, reports the Yale Daily News.
    And, as far as the secret society is concerned, U.S. District Judge Richard Roberts held that the law under which Skull and Bones was sued, the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, only applies to grave robberies that took place after its enactment in 1990.
    Attorney Ramsey Clark, who formerly served as U.S. attorney general, is representing the plaintiffs in the case. He says they are disapppointed in the July 27 ruling and intend to fight on, the student newspaper reports.

    GW - It's all LEGAL BS.  The judges and courts know it's wrong regardless as to what the law says.  I think some interprising individual should repatriate these human artifacts on the sly (so to speak).  I think it would be absolutely hilarious that the remains were returned the same way they were taken.  ---Chuck

      A lot of very powerful people are members of this club. Both President Bush's are members.

        It just goes to show you who "our" government supports, those with the gold, make the rules.  What a shameful bunch of racists, and to think "our leaders", came through this society!

            It may be the fact that at one time Geronimo made the entire U.S. Calvary look like complete idiots for years!!! Maybe the government boys still have a bad taste in their mouth! The law is useless in most cases, only as good as the next loophole. There is an individual who has recieved his 3rd DUI in as many years and has been to court 3 times!! Yes 3 times for the same DUI and he hasn't even got a court date yet!!! Talk about waste at its finest.
              This group should return the remains out of respect no matter who the members are. Geronimo is as much a part of American history an probably a better representation of it than the members of skull and bones.
