There have been some conflicts raised by this legislation, most notably the case of Kennewick man, where the direct descendants of the person/remains can not be certain. Kennewick man is the oft disputed set of remains that many argue is the remains of a caucasoid - i.e. a non-native, while other argue this really is a native's remains, and even specific tribes have claimed relation to these remains, complicating things further. One ofthe scientists involved in the Kennewick man says that he only asserted that the remains resembled those of a european but was actually "none of the above".
