FBI Oddly Interested in 'Escalante Man'

Why is the Federal Bureau of Investigations, who I'm sure have a very long to-do list, spending some much time controlling the scene of a Native man who died in the 19th century?  This is very odd.  Just why is this site, this man, so very intriguing to the largest domestic investigation agency in the United States?  Damned interesting, I guess.

from the Salt Lake Tribune:

  • Tell us what you think about the 'Navajobama' T-shirt, and we'll send your comments to the manufacturer—and to the Obama for President campaign. (No profanities, please.)

  • A Native American gay wedding ceremony takes place at a Two Spirit gathering in Montana.

  • Omission disappoints Native Americans attending the presidential candidate's speech in Wisconsin. Others express concern over Obama's stance on Indian gaming.

  • A Tennessee high school, whose mascot is the Indians, takes the Native American motif one step further: It calls school grounds "The Reservation."

  • The Native actor’s role on 'Law and Order: SVU' is coming to an end, but he plans to stay busy with an Internet TV show, a book and a new baby.
