Native American remains unearthed

On July 8, 2009, construction workers unearthed the remains of a Bay Miwok Native American while working on the new gymnasium, temporarily halting construction. Archaeologists claim the main camp was located 6 mi away and that finding skeletal remains such a distance from the camp was unusual; however, similar remains were discovered during repairs of the nearby I-680 freeway. Following an archaeological dig, the remains of more than two dozen Native Americans were found on the site, which may have served as a mortuary complex. The remains were re-buried in the Ohlones Indian Cemetery in Fremont.
