Question

In 1902, 150 Yaqui Indians lost their lives in a battle in Northern Mexico. For more than a century, the bones of 12 of those warriors were housed at New York's American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). Legally the remains of Native Americans must be returned to tribes. However, the law does not cover Mexican remains held in the United States. Together, Yaqui living in Mexico and Arizona urged both governments to require the museum to release the bones. Eventually the AMNH agreed to the tribe members' demand. Museum officials surrendered the bones to the Mexican government. A Mexican history museum typically would take the remains. Instead, the government gave them to the Yaqui tribe for burial.

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

It seems yo forgot to include the question because this is only a statement. Furthermore, you forgot to include the options for this question.

However, doing some research we can say the following.

The question could be "What did the Yaqui tribe need?

If that is the case, the correct answer is "Yaqui needed the cooperation of the museums."

After some tense negotiations, the Mexican government could have the support of New York's American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) and finally could have the bones. These bones were given back to the Yaqui tribe members because Native Mexican tribes are very respected in Mexico. So instead of putting them in a museum's exhibition, the government gave it back to the Yaquis because it understood the religious customs, culture, and traditions of this tribe.

Yaqui people live in the North region of the state of Sonora (border state to Arizona, US). They have a series of religious traditions and ceremonies and the tribe considered correct to bury the bones to give peace to the souls of those Yaquis.
