Tohono O'odham Chairman: Graves destroyed in border wall construction

http://narcosphere.narconews.com/...estroyed-border-wall-construction

Excerpt:

Tohono O'odham Chairman Ned Norris, Jr., testified at a Congressional hearing that border wall construction has plowed through the graves of the Hohokam and fragments of human bone have been found in the contractor's heavy equipment tracks.

"Imagine a bulldozer in your family graveyard," Norris testified at the Congressional field hearing on April 28.

"In the words of the U.S. Supreme Court, Indian tribes predate the United States. We are older than the international boundary with Mexico, but our nation is now cut in half."
...

"We didn't cross the 75 miles of border on our reservation, the border crossed us."
