In February 2006, the Burke Museum hosted a group of scientists from around the country who came to study the Kennewick Man remains. The Burke provided access and professional assistance to the scientists over a period of ten days.
July 2005
The Burke Museum has been the court-designated neutral repository for the human remains commonly known as "Kennewick Man" since October, 1998. In early February 2004, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals referred the Bonnichsen v. United States case back to the US District Court in Portland, Oregon.
On Mon., April 19, 2004, the Ninth Circuit denied the request for a rehearing en banc of the Bonnichsen decision (Kennewick Man case). While awaiting instructions from the legal owners (Army Corps of Engineers), the museum will continue to provide a secure and respectful repository for these human remains for as long as required by the court and the legal owners of the remains.
