Remember that they found a body called "Kennewick Man" near the Tri Cities
in Eastern Washington that is blond/blue and dates back before native
americans? Anyway I remember reading something like that. Then recall that
Lewis and Clark heard what they thought was "gaelic" language along the
Columbia, this would be not so far from where Kennewick man was found,
Kennewick is on/near the Columbia River...I also read that both Lewis and
Clark were gaelic (Welsh descent)
