The way that reads to me is that MSU participated in digging them up and has the remains somewhere on campus. I think the plan is to put them back where they came from.

I mean... is the entire US not built on a Native American Burial Ground?

Some estimate that as many as 100 million indigenous people lived in the America's prior to colonization. Those estimates may be a high but consider that there was only about 50 million living in Europe at the time, one could say that you are correct.

I can see why the "Dead Injuns"would hold a grudge too, but why single out Mississippi State? If this gesture is sincere and helps, it will be the best $90,000 ever spent.

Cobb Institute of Archaeology is the likely repository on campus.

They have another place on campus where a lot of artifacts and remains are stored as well. I mean…a lot

IIRC they have artifacts from a lot of WPA projects done in the 30's. And you are right, they have a lot.

The Cultural Heritage office, down the road from the roundabout.

After they're studied, remains are given back to the respective tribe for re-burial.
