In 1996, two young men stumbled upon a mystery that would involved many different people.  When they waded into some shallow water, they found a skeleton.  At first everyone believed it was probably someone who died accidently.  What they eventually learned was that this was the skeleton of a man who had lived, and been murdred, nearly 8,000 years ago.  Did he belong to a Native American tribe?  Or did he get here by some other means?  This is just the beginning of this exploration of Native Americans who were here before the arrival of Christopher Columbus and other European explorers.
