Field Museum to return Indian bones

Just in from Chicago:

The Field Museum will return bones--mostly skulls--from about 160 native people who lived, logged and fished from islands off the coast of British Columbia.

The remains were dug up from cemeteries on the Queen Charlotte Islands and brought to Chicago in the early 1900s.
