“„[T]he U.S. Justice Department is asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the descendants of legendary Chiricahua Apache leader Goyathlay (a.k.a. Geronimo)aimed at recovering his allegedly stolen remains.
“„The lawsuit claims that the Skull and Bones Society located at Yale University — but not technically affiliated with the school — stole Geronimo’s bones in 1918 from a burial plot in Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
According to Alexandra Robbins, who wrote a book on the subject, Prescott Bush — former U.S. senator, father of George H.W. and grandfather of George W. — was one of the Bonesmeninvolved in the alleged tomb-raiding.
