Geronimo's Kin Sue Skull and Bone Society For Return Of Leader's Skull

from MSMNBC http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29265600


I conducted a phone interview with Mr. Ned Anderson in the fall of 2000. Mr. Anderson confirmed the details of the article (see below). He added that in the meeting with Jonathan Bush, Mr. Bush produced a skull of a ten year old child that he claimed was the skull used in the Skull and Bones rituals. Mr. Anderson made note of the obvious physical differences between the child's skull and the photo he had received of what was claimed to be Geronimo's remains. Mr. Bush denied that Geronimo's skull was in possession of the Skull and Bones Society. If you would like to help Mr. Anderson recover the remains of Geronimo please write your congressman and senators demanding a Congressional hearing on this matter. Phone calls to Yale University may also prod the institution into resolving this abomination in a respectful manner.

WHERE ARE THEY HIDING GERONIMO'S SKULL?
Notes From Indian Country

SAN CARLOS APACHE RESERVATION, AZ - Ned Anderson is the former Chairman of the San Carlos Apache of Arizona. He is on a one-man campaign to get the skull of his beloved Apache warrior, Geronimo, returned to its rightful burial place.
Anderson is convinced that the skull has been used in weird fraternity rituals at Yale University since about 1918 after it was taken from Geranium's grave at Fort Sill, Oklahoma , by Prescott Bush, the grandfather of Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush.
In 1983 several Apache leaders discussed the idea of having the bones of Geronimo returned to Arizona for reburial. The meeting between the Apache leaders at Fort Sill resulted in several papers picking up the story and putting Ned Anderson's name temporarily in the spotlight.
A short time later a disgruntled member of Yale's Skull and Bones Society contacted Anderson by letter and suggested that the remains of Geronimo had been pilfered by Prescott Bush while he and five other officers were stationed at Fort Sill in 1918. The stolen prizes were taken back to New Haven, Connecticut to a place known as the Tomb, the home of the Skull and Bones Society. The bones, a horse bit, and stirrups were placed in a glass display case where members and visitors could view them as they entered the building.
The secret informant sent pictures of the bones on display along with a copy of a Skull and Bones ledger which held notations about the 1918 grave robbery. The informant provided the information that the bones were used in the Thursday and Sunday night rituals of the Society and Geronimo's skull was always placed on a table in front of the participants during the ceremony. -clipped-
