Living Relatives of Kwaday Dan Ts’inchi Found
Posted by Tad McIlwraith on April 27th, 2008 filed in Anth 1160, Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, First Nations, Hunting, In the News
This story fascinates me — both for reasons of human interest and aboriginal rights. DNA testing has identified seventeen living relatives of an aboriginal hunter who died perhaps three hundred years ago. His remains were frozen in glacial ice in northern BC in the territory of the Champagne-Aishihik First Nations (Athapaskan). The seventeen people connected to this hunter are members of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations.
This story even makes me want to study physical anthropology.
