'60 Minutes' to repeat Kennewick Man story

By the Herald staff

The CBS television show 60 Minutes plans to rerun its 1998 Kennewick Man segment at 7 p.m Sunday.

Reporter Lesley Stahl's segment will last about 12 minutes and cover the Kennewick Man controversy. It is scheduled to be the second segment.

Kennewick Man was found in Columbia Park in 1996 and the bones were dated later at 9,000 years old. A federal judge recently sided with scientists who long have wanted to study the remains against the wishes of American Indians and the federal government.
