JACKSON, Miss. – A man and a woman were found buried among wolf teeth and turtle shells. Other graves contained mothers and infants.

Some tribal members were laid to rest with beloved dogs. Over the last century, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History has been taking care of the remains of hundreds of Native Americans who once inhabited the state.
