Some ignorant wasicu are offering to let anyone kill our relative for money. I'm outraged by this. In fact I think they should be shot instead of thebuffalo. I don't know if it's still on ebay but I think we should spread this all over Indian country and also contact the Lone Star Ranch and ebay to let them know just how wrong this is.
Spread the word and call them.

(NOTE: Although ebay has removed the ad, the Lone Star Ranch still has buffalo/bison listed on its exotic hunts, along with hunts of gazelles, wildebeest and antelope at: http://www.lonestarranchexotichunts.com/ )

Repatriation of Native Remains
Native Remains Will Be Repatriated
http://www.courthousenews.com/2010/03/19/Federal_Regulations.htm
WASHINGTON (CN) - The Department of the Interior will release human remains from museums and natural history collections to Indian tribes or Native Hawaiian organizations that had a historic or prehistoric presence on the land from which the remains originally were taken. This will be true even when the remains cannot be definitively traced to the tribe or organization, according to new department rules, effective May 14.
Under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, culturally unidentifiable Native American remains have been repatriated for burial or other disposition only after consultation with a Review Committee that advises the Secretary of the Interior on disposition approval. The new regulation will eliminate the review process, and the remains would be turned over to the requesting tribe or native organization after the request was announced in the Federal Register.
The act, which was passed in 1990, requires all museums and federal agencies to identify Native American cultural items in their collections, such as human remains, funerary objects, and sacred objects, to lineal descendents and culturally affiliated Indian tribes. As of Sept. 2009, museums and federal agencies have listed the remains of nearly 40,000 individuals and almost one million funerary objects on their inventories.
The most famous case of unaffiliated remains was the discovery in 1996 of the skeleton of a prehistoric man on a bank of the Columbia River in Kennewick Washington on land owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Five Indian tribes claimed ownership of the remains, which became known as Kennewick Man, and sought to dispose of the remains according to traditional burial practices without subjecting them to scientific examination.
In 2004 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected the claims of the tribes because they could not establish cultural affiliation or kinship to the remains. Later testing revealed that Kennewick Man was approximately 9,000 years old and that his DNA could not be definitively tied to any modern Native American tribes.

UA: Halt Apartheid Support, Divest from Caterpillar and Motorola
Derechos Humanos: Please support the efforts to demand that the University of Arizona divest from companies that profit off the human suffering of innocent victims of militarization.

Dear President Shelton,
We are writing in solidarity and support of the University of Arizona Community for Human Right's campaign and our Palestinian brothers and sisters to ensure that the University of Arizona (UA) divest from Caterpillar and Motorola immediately. As you know, U.S. companies Caterpillar and Motorola participate and profit from the violations of international law and human rights as major players in the Israeli Apartheid and occupation of Palestinian territories (OPT).
CAT equipment has demolished thousands of homes, uprooted countless olive trees, and carved gaping holes in roads to make them impassable. In addition, CAT equipment and similar machines from other manufactures are used in the construction of settlement housing, segregated roads on expropriated land, and the annexation/apartheid barrier-all violations of international law.
Motorola Corporation also contributes to the occupier's control of the Palestinian population. Motorola's radar detection devices and thermal cameras protect illegal Israeli settlements; its 'Mountain Rose' secure cell phone communication system enhances the coordination and monitoring capabilities of Israeli's occupying forces; and Motorola's Wide Area Surveillance System (WASS), which was recently sold to an Israeli company, is used to monitor and maintain apartheid barrier. -- (Steadfast Hope: The Palestinian Quest for Just Peace, June 2009)
We urge the UA to recognize and take action against companies that enable apartheid through brutal military occupation. Until divestment from Caterpillar and Motorola occurs, the UA will continue to profit and participate from the atrocities committed against the Palestinian people, including their Israeli allies. Moreover, the UA will never meet its mission to "empower graduates to be leaders in solving complex societal problems," if action is not taken immediately.
Sincerely,
