See you Mormon Haters, the LGT is true (link)

WILSALL, Mont. (AP) — The 12,600-year-old remains of an infant boy were reburied Saturday in a Native American ceremony after scientists recovered DNA from the child discovered in central Montana in 1968.

The boy's remains were put back as close as possible to the original burial site. Two film crews, about 30 American Indian tribal representatives from Montana and Washington, and others attended the reburial ceremony, The Billings Gazette reported.

"I hope that this is the final closure for you, too, as it is for us," said Crow tribal elder Thomas Larson Medicine Horse Sr., addressing the family on whose property the child was found.

The DNA taken from the boy provided new indications of the ancient roots of today's American Indians and other native people of the Americas. It was the oldest genome ever recovered from the New World and proved he was closely related to indigenous Americans.

The boy was between 1 and 1 ½ years old when he died of an unknown cause. Artifacts found with the body show the boy was part of the Clovis culture, which existed in North America from about 13,000 years ago to about 12,600 years ago and is named for an archaeological site near Clovis, N.M.

Just remember the Book of Mormon preface says "AMONG"!

Too bad Thomas Monson did not attend the burial so he could tell all about the boy using his prophetic powers - like Joseph Smith did in telling about Zelph, the Great White Lamanite Warrior.
