60 Minutes

===Kennewick Man===
A legal battle between archaeologists and the [[Umatilla people|Umatilla]] tribe over the remains of a skeleton, nicknamed [[Kennewick Man]], was reported by ''60 Minutes'' on October 25, 1998, to which the Umatilla tribe reacted negatively. The tribe considered the segment heavily biased in favor of the scientists, cutting out important arguments, such as explanations of the [[Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Kennewick Man issue damages relationships|url=http://www.umatilla.nsn.us/kman3.html|last=Minthorn|first=Antone|work=Board of Trustees Chairman [[Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation]]|date=November 5, 1998|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060616122302/http://www.umatilla.nsn.us/kman3.html|archive-date=June 16, 2006}}</ref> The report focused heavily on the racial politics of the controversy and also added inflammatory arguments, such as questioning the legitimacy of [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] sovereignty<ref>{{cite web|title=Bones of Contention|url=http://www.common-place.org/vol-01/no-02/kennewick/kennewick-2.shtml|last=Fabien|first=Ann|work=Common-Place.org|access-date=May 22, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928031812/http://www.common-place.org/vol-01/no-02/kennewick/kennewick-2.shtml|archive-date=September 28, 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref> – much of the racial focus of the segment was later reported to have been either unfounded and/or misinterpreted.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Who Were The First Americans?|url=http://www.time.com/time/archive/preview/0,10987,1169905,00.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060512072626/http://www.time.com/time/archive/preview/0,10987,1169905,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 12, 2006|last1=Lemonick|first1=Michael D.|last2=Dorfman|first2=Andrea|author-link=Michael D.
