1. So many discoveries still to be made....

I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, they are of historical significance. On the other side, many are digging up dead people. How would we feel if 100's/1,000's of years in the future, people started digging up our graveyards to add to their museum collections?

I had an older Mono tribe friend when I lived in Calif, who told me, when he was a kid, he found some Native relics beside a creek. He went running back to his father with them. Dad said, you have to take those back where you found them and rebury them. They do not belong to you, and it is disrespectful.
