DISCUSSION: Lines 9-13 tell us the three main ways to get standing:
- You’re the heir.
- ii. You own the property.
- iii. You have a clear interest in protecting the property.
In all of these cases, the grave is likely to be recent.
Lines 17-21 tell us when a tribe is not likely to get standing: the grave sites are ancient, and the tribe has moved. That makes it hard to show your connection to the grave.
___________
- This is number i: the son is the heir to the estate.
- This is number ii: the plaintiff owns the property.
- This is close, but the tribe only moved recently. The tribe can probably prove that they lived on the land previously.
- If the second cousin of the deceased is alive, then the grave is recent. An as a family member, the cousin likely has a clear interest in protecting the grave (number iii).
- CORRECT. Lines 17-21 say that it’s hard for a tribe to prove that ancient objects belong to their tribe.
This situation is even more difficult: the objects were taken from the grave sites of multiple ancient tribes.
