Sign at the entrance near 7th and Minnesota in Kansas City, Kansas

This plaque is at the entrance to the Huron Indian Cemetery, the official name of which is the Wyandot National Burying Grounds. The symbol on the plaque is a turtle, an animal at the center of the Wyandot creation story which Samuel will tell you about. Opposite this plaque is a display showing other animals important to Wyandot culture, and a brief history of the Wyandot (Wendat or Ouendat) Nation. It details their movements from the Saint Lawrence valley in Canada to the Great Lakes to Kansas.

This marker is located along the west side of the walkway that goes through the Wyandot National Burying Grounds. The marker reads: To the best of my recollection and belief, I think that between the years of 1844 and 1855 there were at least 400 interments there and most of these graves are not perceptible and cannot be identified or even found.  Lucy B. Armstrong, 1890, Wife of John M. Armstrong

‘Interments’ means burials

This walkway begins at the entrance of the cemetery at the southwest corner and ends at the northeast corner.
