It has been in and out of the media (some of it carried in "Time"
magazine, especially when they found on campus a lost cache of medical
specimens in a basement room feeding speculation) and there is a
petition on behalf of the Apache, his grandson a spokesperson, to
further investigate it. Perhaps it should be a NAGPRA issue, which
"ironically" was signed into law by then President ("Poppy") George
H.W. Bush whose father, Prescott Bush was allegedly part of it.

The Yale men used to have a flight training base on the Great South
Bay on Long Island with a cannon they used to fire into Fire Island
and the Great South Bay according to a historian online leaving what
the writer said were deadly swirling holes in the water in the Great
South Bay. It was in Mastic, NY, near the William Floyd Manor (signer
of the "Declaration of Independence" today Mastic/Shirley) part of the
Fire Island National Seashore now, where I worked with the NPS in
getting it ready for the public with clearance archaeology, and also
attended a public hearing on presenting the Suffolk County
Archaeological Association for the creation of the National Seashore.
It was in the 1930's in the nation's "Cradle of Aviation". Perhaps
another reason for creation of New York States only "Federal
wilderness" ordnance had elsewhere been found on the barrier islands,
and more recently in the news in redeposited replenishment dredging in
New Jersey.

The Suffolk County Archaeology Association used to meet then at the
Hoyt Farm Nature Center (Town of Smithtown Department of Parks,
Smithtown, NY). The Hoyt Farm complex was once owned by a judge I
recall. In the vestibule as one walked in (perhaps the same as the
"Tomb" mentioned) were two broken sabres that allegedly were used by
the Apache as "pikes" against the US Calvary in a glass cabinet.
