Remains of ancient child reburied in Montana
Remains of ancient child reburied in Montana
Jun 28, 4:48 PM EDT-
WILSALL, Mont. (AP) -- The 12,600-year-old remains of an infant boy have been reburied in a Native American ceremony in Montana.
Representatives of American Indian tribes conducted the ceremony Saturday for the boy, who was between 1 year and 18 months old when he died of an unknown cause.
About 30 tribal representatives from Montana and Washington and others attended the ceremony.
The boy's interment came decades after his remains were found in 1968.
