Unearthing the Past: Ongoing Excavation at Nebraska's Native American School

Archaeologists are excavating a field in Genoa, Nebraska, believed to contain the lost cemetery of a Native American boarding school. No remains were found on the first day of digging, contradicting a press release from the Lincoln Indian Center claiming the discovery of ancestral American Indian children's remains. The State Archaeology Office and the Nebraska Commission on Indian Affairs will determine the fate of any remains found, which could be reburied or returned to their tribes, though identifying the tribes may pose a challenge.
