Graves of Native American children are discovered in Oregon with Anglicized names
Just weeks after an alarming number of unmarked indigenous graves were found in Canada, a DailyMail.com investigation has discovered similar travesties at an Oregon gravesite that is part of a Native American boarding school.
The small graveyard, known as the Chemawa Cemetery, was part of the school for indigenous children located just north of Salem, Oregon, and is believed to contain not only unmarked graves but graves that are marked with Anglicized names not the childrens true indigenous names.
DailyMail.com visited the cemetery and saw grave markers with Anglo sounding names like, Daniel Boone, James Flemming, Alice Hayes, Angle Adams, Frank Howard, Benny (no last name), George, Rosie and Burns.
Several areas in the cemetery had no grave markers at all, just empty spaces. The markers may have been moved or stolen.
Anything is a possible, Marsha Small, a doctoral student at Montana State University, told DailyMail.com.
Small has used ground penetrating radar and magnetometry beneath the Chemawa Cemetery where she discovered 222 sets of remains, more than the 208 the federal government had documented.
