Indian Tradition




This is the Arch. Indians believed this was the gateway to the world beyond. They came to Mackinac Island to bury their dead. Many of their ancestors are buried in secret places throughout the Island because when white man finds them, guess where they wind up? Yes, in a museum somewhere on display. Another interesting fact about this Island is that an entire graveyard was "relocated" because it happened to be sitting in a place that would be more profitable for tourist trade! Humm. Thanks anyway. I'll stay with the horses!
