Khwe,

The following information comes from the Wyandot Tribe of Kansas and was originally posted on the Tribal Law list. Ishgooda

From: "D. English" Subject: Legal Assistance Needed to Protect Huron Indian Cemetery X-Comment: Student Kouncil of Inter-Tribal Nations

The Wyandot Nation of Kansas has been involved in a legal battle to preserve the sanctity of the Huron Indian Cemetery in Kansas City Kansas for the pat 130 years. The most recent threat to the sanctity of the cemetery has been that of a casino development utilizing the Huron Indian Cemetery as a site for the gaming facility by the Wyandotte Tribe of Oklahoma. Chief Leaford Bearskin initially proposed disinterring the graves at the Huron Indian Cemetery, moving them to Oklahoma and building a casino on the site. Never mind the fact the Oklahoma Wyandottes left Kansas in the 1860's and haven't buried anyone there for over 130 years...

We need legal assistance in the worst way!!

Please take a look at the Huron Cemetery website and see if you can offer any assistance. The website has all of the pertinent documentation, including persuasive legal arguments against the fee to trust transfer for the purposes of Class III gaming, by Kansas Governor Bill Graves.

Thank you for your help.
