HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Descendants of American Indian leader
Geronimo are suing the federal government, Yale University and a
secret society, seeking custody of the Apache chief's remains.
Geronimo's great-grandson, Harlyn Geronimo, says the family
believes the Yale group Skull and Bones took some of the remains in
1918 or 1919 from a burial plot at Fort Sill, Okla. He says the
descendants believe those remains are kept at the group's clubhouse
in New Haven.
He announced the federal lawsuit in Washington on Tuesday, the
100-year anniversary of Geronimo's death from pneumonia while he
was being held at Fort Sill as a prisoner of war.
The family wants the remains sent to New Mexico. They also want
the government to turn over any bones still buried at Fort Sill.

Just because it’s Yale, they will probably get away with it, but they better leave their hands off my family.
It makes me ill to think that great minds have to do something like that to entertain themselves.
Is that where the Congress got the idea???? lol

Let them have the remans, they were inprisoned wrongly to begin with and the Trail of Tears should have never happened!!!!
