Wyandot descendants feel that is is our responsibility to protect the grave sites of our ancestors. Several other locations exist in the Downriver area. We believe that there are burials in the Humbug Marsh area as well as in other parts of the Gibraltar area . The removal of Indian graves along South Gibraltar Road by Carlson High School students and their teacher some years ago is well known to the residents. It is our wish to see this area protected in a manner in keeping with Indian tradition and to see the earth treated with dignity and respect.
Native people are of one mind on the graves issue.
Native Americans, all citizens and future generations will be the ones to lose if we are denied a look into a natural system left intact to enrich all our lives.
