American Indian Bones Closer to Returning to Earth
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- The bones of Native Americans who once farmed in what is now western Arkansas are one step closer to returning to the earth after they were dug out of the ground.
The Arkansas-Democrat Gazette reports Sunday that the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest has completed an inventory of 28 sets of human remains and artifacts and determined that they are "culturally affiliated" with current-day tribes, the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and the Osage Nation.
That means the bones can be claimed by the tribes and returned under the Native American Grave Repatriation Act.
In some cases, looters dug up centuries-old burial mounds and carted away the bones. In others, scientists found the gravesites while looking for clues about how American Indians lived and died in the past

June 17, 2013 20:23 GMT
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity says it will donate proceeds from sales at its Renovation Station stores in Oklahoma City to help pay for construction and repairs of homes of the May tornado victims.
Habitat said Monday that all proceeds through Aug. 31 will be donated to the project. Habitat is also soliciting donations to help rebuild or repair homes damaged by the tornadoes in the Oklahoma City metro area.
Renovation Stations are retail stores operated by Habitat for Humanity that sell new and used building supplies, material, appliances, furniture and other household items. There are two in Oklahoma City -- one in north Oklahoma City and the other on the city's southwest side.
