Prehistoric Skull Found Near Zuni Under State Law Review
In New Mexico near Zuni two boys discovered a human skull on Sept 27 in Pine Meadows Ranches east of Zuni Pueblo. Archaeologist David Eck says the skull likely prehistoric but cannot be removed until land ownership is settled and Native Americans consulted. State law treats unpermitted digging as a fourth degree felony with fines up to 5000 dollars and jail time, plus forfeiture of remains.

TOHATCHI Chuska boarding school still classified under BIA
The TOHATCHI Chuska boarding school did not convert to the federal grant system on Oct 1 due to lack of funds. School officials say the conversion was saved by the same funding shortfalls, with many teachers requesting transfers over dissatisfaction with the Chuska Snes Board. Superintendent Johnson Wright defends salaries and staff integrity amid alleged financial blunders and rumors. He notes potential grant conversion requires congressional budget approval, after which all BIA schools may join the grant system.
