Archaeology students from Indiana University desecrate yet another Native American burial mound in Sullivan County, Indiana near Fairbanks. Indiana University archaeologists, who after 100 years of excavating Native American burial mounds have come to the conclusion that they don't know who the mound builders were, where they came from nor where they went, continue their rampage of Indiana's antiquities by turning their attention to the destruction of yet another burial mound site.
The most revealing information of these ancient inhabitants would be uncovered in the excavation of a village site, but to date archaeologist have never found nor looked for this treasure trove of information; instead, finding it much more expedient to dig in to the burial mounds.
Miami Indians who call themselves the Sullivan County American Indian Council gave the go ahead to desecrate the ancient remains of the Oto Sioux burials. The "Council" is believed to be of Miami Indian heritage who were never known to have buried their dead in burial mounds.

The sad part of this is that the ancient Sioux and Iroquois believed in ancestral worship and went to great lengths to bury their dead and would never never never allow anyone to touch this sacred ground.
According to the Native American Graves Protection Act digging in to a "known" grave of a tribal affiliation is a Federal Crime. Indiana University archaeologist seem to be exempt from law. They control the message and as long as they don't call them Iroquois or Sioux they can dig at will.
Preserved, Ancient Indian would be a destination for travelers all over the world.
