Nanticoke Indians push to rebury ancestral remains in Delaware
In Delaware, the Nanticoke Indian Nation seeks reburial of ancestral bones from Island Field Archaeological Museum. State lawmakers consider a bill to cover the cemetery and bar further digs, citing sacredness and public interest. The Island Field site, a rare Atlantic Seaboard Indian cemetery, houses remains and artifacts from early Native communities once living near Sussex and the Nanticoke lands.
