Indian group stages vigil at Wal-Mart site
About 70 Indian activists staged a 30 hour vigil at a proposed Wal-Mart site in Morgantown to honor dead ancestors buried there. They dug up 1200 year old Monongahela village remains and called for reburial including an infant skull. Activist Matt Sherman framed the action as a spiritual victory and urged respect for the site.
