A similar thing happened where I grew up. An old farm sold to become a strip mall, during preliminary stuff they discovered a bunch of shallow graves. Since they were likely native American given the area (depending on which side of a river it could be native Americans or civil war soldiers), they were reburied in a large mound near the back of the lot.
Since it's next to a pet store, people walk their dogs to piss and shit all over it.
And that about sums up local feelings for natives.
