Remains From "Lost" Cemeteries to Receive Proper Treatment

[courtesy of The California Majority Report]

When railroad construction crews working in Los Angeles discovered human remains of Chinese railroad workers from the 1800s it became apparent California does not have a system in place to deal with the discovery of non-Native American human remains. Assemblymember Mike Eng stepped in and developed Assembly Bill 2514. As we learn in this Assembly Web Report, AB 2514 will create a system similar to the process used today when Native American remains are discovered.
