mar 4, 1946 - Status of Huron Cemetary

Description:

March 4. U.S. Department of the Interior Office of Indian Affairs, Chicago 54, Illinois to K.C.K. Chamber of Commerce in answer to their letter of Feb. 16 re: Huron Cemetery. "On February 4, 1908, the Attorney General held that the fee title to the cemetery was in the U.S. by reason of the treaty, subject to the right of the Wyandotte Indians to use it perpetually for cemetery purposes. There is no yearly fund or appropriation for the maintenance of the cemetery. Provision for its maintenance is, however, contained in an agreement entered into with the authorities of K.C.K. approved by the Department on April 17, 1918. (WNK)

March 4. K.C. Star reports that not only have some civic leaders endorsed the proposal presented on January 28 by Ralph Fulton, but have gone further to suggest elimination of Huron Cemetery Indian Burial ground fronting on Minnesota Avenue and incorporation of the two acres it occupied into the plan. Washington has been requested to furnish data on the status of that property. (WNK)
