This is not news, more than likely they were in a box or boxes and got misplaced and put in a closet

Human remains "got misplaced and put in a closet"?!?! How would you like it if the remains of one of your extended family members were "misplaced and put in a closet"? Sounds like "news" now, doesn't it? :angry:

This could be a potential crime scene for Cripes Sake!

An official statement has been put out by President Armacost: https://und.edu/about/president/repatriation.html

Read the Q&A there.
Some material may have been brought onto campus in the late 1800s as results of archeological excavations.

Seems UND is not alone in having to find, catalog, and repatriate items. 

The "find" is the embarrassing part. Own it. Fix it. And not again. 

 

Sounds like that's what President Armacost is doing and will do - he'll do the right thing although it's a couple decades late and not his fault.   Repatriation is the right thing to do and worrying about how this might affect the old nickname coming back is a trivial and frankly pathetic waste of time.

Yeah the liberal academics are to fault for this black eye on the university. We have to hear them cry to retire the name, but they can’t even do the right thing with actual indigenous remains!

Nope - pretty sure it was a bunch of old-timey professors who thought old indian bones and artifacts were interesting things to display and point to as "curiousities"  When they finally did some remodeling and took them down they stuffed them in a box and put them away only to be discovered all these years later...

disrespectful?  YES   Ignorant? YES 

A "liberal" conspiracy?   NO but YES the name has been retired for many good reasons.   Get over it.

The "liberal academics" and administration are now trying to make this situation right - they will do it but it will take time.

Stop acting like you would have done something different or better.  People like you only bitch
