In the center of downtown Kansas City, Kansas, between the public library and government buildings just off Minnesota Avenue, sits a two-acre cemetery.
The sign reads "Huron Indian Cemetery," but it’s also known as the Wyandot National Burying Ground and has long been a sacred place for members of the Wyandot Nation.
But it wouldn’t be here at all if it weren’t for an armed occupation by a trio of sisters 120 years ago.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
Lt Col Charlie Brown Some Degree of Retribution was Had. Some Obscure Law that let the Wyandotte Nation reclaim any Vacated Government Property in their "Territory" City of Kansas City Kansas Left One of their Bldgs Vacant. Needless to Say the Wyandotte Nation Reclaimed it right beside this Cemetery and it is Now a Casino.
