According to a 1990 law, Native American tribes are entitled to artifacts or remains removed from their lands, provided that the tribes can show a direct archaeological, geological, or historical link to the artifacts. Recently, the Umatilla tribes of Oregon and Washington laid claim to a set of skeletal remains more than 500 years old.
Each of the following, if true, strengthens the Umatilla's claim to the remains EXCEPT:
A. Tools found with the remains are similar to tools known to be used by the ancestors of the Umatilla. --> Strengthens
B. DNA evidence from the remains shows a direct link to current members of the Umatilla. --> Strengthens
C. The Umatilla claim that the remains of all native peoples deserve the respect of a traditional reburial ceremony. --> Correct, it does not provide any support to the conclusion, how does a claim from the tribe be any link to the artifacts ?
D. The remains were found in close proximity to an excavation of an ancient Umatilla settlement. --> Strengthens
E. The remains were buried with artifacts similar to those found with other Umatilla remains. --> Strengthens
