Hoke Wayne Honbarger, 47, was sentenced to serve , three years in prison on a charge of selling a human skull. Wayne Watson Rainey, 48, was sentenced to serve sin coneecutlve one-year sentences for six misde- j meanor counts of attempting to exhibit human skeletal | remains. , Judge W. Douglas Albright of Greensboro suspended c the sentences in Rowan County Superior Court and placed the men on five-year supervised probations. The men were ordered to pay $2,000 in reparations to the N.C. Commission of Indian Attmrt to cover the cost of re-interment, said James E. Roberto, district attor ney for Rowan and Cabarrus counties. Honbarger and Rainey must also pay $200 in restitu tion fees to the State Bureau of Investigation, perform 100 hours of community service and pay a $600 fine. 4 Alhrieht suggested that the community service work be done in a "fashion to the enhancement of native American culture." Albright also called fur the remains to be re buried in jrtate with flail tribal custom, ritual and ceremony in mdiedoeed locations. "Tn elated that Judge Albright made this decision." ?id W. Loonie Revels of Greensboro, chairman of the ndian commission, "and I hope this sends a message to he community at large that the desecration of graves rill not be taken tightly by law enforcement or by the ommunity. ?This Is a serious offense." Roberts said Indians believe the soul does not rest until the bones are reduced to dust. Interrupting the proceee defeats the purpoee and insults Indians. "I dont think they were aware of the significance of the interrupting the interment," Robots said of the defendants. Indians, ha said, "don't consider this just property damage." The charges are the first to be brought under a 1981 (See Graves, B2) Ij raves From B1 law that protects unmarked burials from any type of desecration. Honbaraer was arrested in Janu ary after he sold two skulls for $100 each to SBI agents and a Rowan County sheriff's deputy in Septem ber 1968 and again in January. Rai ney was charged in May. Roberta said the men collected skeletal remains and artifacts and displayed some in impressive light ed display eases in Rainey's base ment. "They don't deem it grave rob bing," Roberts said of the defen dants. He said Rainey wept after he was told the remains would be con fiscated. Roberts said the confiscated Hems were sent to the archaeologi cal division of the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources for study Scientists there determined thai some of the remains date back be fore the birth of Christ. Some of the remains and artifact^ are believed to have come from aa ares known as the Parker burial site in Davidson County, he said. The Associated Press contributed to this atory.

These organizations were called either the Confederation of Red Men's Lodge or the Tecumseh Lodge. The above photograph is of the leaders of one of these Lodes (thought to be Union Chapel). These Lodges were established to pro tect the Indian citizens iatheir areas from organized local non-Indian dtizenry violence and to help maintain social order in the local Indian communities. Otherwise, ceremonies of the Lodge and its members were protected in secrecy from the general populace.
