Congress petitioned for return of Geronimo's remains

December 25, 2005

I posted the petition last week on DU and people said it was a hoax. Just thought you all might want to know the truth. Thanks.
SAN CARLOS, Ariz. - American Indians are petitioning Congress to investigate the elite Skull and Bones society at Yale University and return the remains of Chiricahua Apache warrior Geronimo to Apaches for reburial.

The online petition describes the desecration of Geronimo's grave in 1918 by members of the society, including President George W. Bush's grandfather, Sen. Prescott Bush. The men removed Geronimo's head and a prized silver bridle, which had been buried with him.

''Using acid and amid laughter, they stripped Geronimo's head of hair and flesh. They then took their 'trophies' back to Yale University and put them on display in the clubhouse of the secret fraternity 'Skull and Bones,''' states the petition.

Outraged American Indian tribal members from across the nation and indigenous people from around the world are signing the petition with plans to pressure Congress to act.

Investigate Shrub's grandfather? Yeah right :eyes:

as this is an outrage that should have been reconciled long ago. return this brave man's remains to the lands and people he fought so hard to defend against our invading and marauding culture.

Return the man's remains immediately! This is some of the lowest shit I've ever heard of. What lifeform stoops to this kind of behavior?

Sign this now and tell your friends too!

Ideally, someone could figure out where it was stolen from and return it to a nearby location if not the grave from whence it came.

and 'offered' as an exchange.
