In tihs image taken from video, Matthew Bussler, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer at Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, uses mapping equipment in Dowagiac, Mich., on Aug. 10, 2023. Americans whose ancestors called the state home hope a new state law will speed the recovery and reburial of ancestors' remains unearthed over the past two centuries. Bussler said it is critical that ancestors are returned “to the womb of Mother Earth,” not only so they may continue their journey in the hereafter, but to “redeem all of the pain and the suffering” of their tribe, especially their descendants.
