Burial sites

In oxford’s sports park, Native American burial sites were found. Archeologists are working to find all of the human remains. But unfortunately some have already been reburied, without the help of Native American representatives. I think that this is horrible that this was not known about before that land was used. Now the bodies that were buried there will be move to another site, just as some already have been. I think that this is insulting to the families of those buried there; they should have the right to stay in the spot that they were buried in. this situation shows the harm that is cause by forcing the Native Americans off their land, and the miscommunication between the races. This goes to show you how bad decisions come back with consequences; unfortunately most of these consequences are for the Native Americans.
