Saginaw Chippewa Tribe inspects Flint site where bones were found

FLINT — Members of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe were in Flint today inspecting land that is believed to be an Indian burial site.
Earlier this week, construction crews dug up several bones on Stone Street and Third Avenue, which officials now believe could belong to as many as five people. An anthropologist determined the bones are from Native American people and pre-date the 20th century.
