4 Sept 1955 Jahr - KC Times reports Huron Cemetery Protests

Beschreibung:

September 4. K.C. Times reports that transfer of the title of Huron Indian Cemetery to Wyandotte Tribe of Oklahoma threatens security of the site by commercial development. (WNK)

September 4. KC. Times reports citizens protesting the proposed move are rallying behind the Wyandotte County Historical society which plans a legal battle to keep intact "the most valuable historical site in the county." Although it is designated as the Wyandotte National burying ground, the 900 tribesmen meeting tonight at Wyandotte Oklahoma see it as a 1 1/2 million dollar opportunity. (Aerial photograph clearly shows encroachment by buildings and streets when compared to earlier photographs and plattings.) (WNK)
