Includes PowerPoint!

Who was Kennewick Man?  From his accidental discovery in 1996 to the ongoing controversy, Kennewick Man may be the most famous Tri-Citian who ever lived.  Science and civics merge as students explore the issues brought to light by the controversial Kennewick Man discovery.  Students participate in exercises to highlight the issues surrounding the dating of ancient objects and lively discussions of the civics of the case are encouraged.   Elements of this program may be incorporated into other sessions (i.e. Anthropology/Archaeology or Native Americans) upon request.
