La Pointe Indian Cemetery is located on Madeline Island in La Pointe, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]
Description
La Pointe Indian Cemetery was created in 1836 by French Catholic missionaries, who had a mission nearby. It has served as the resting place for many Native Americans, as well as some of the early European or American settlers on Madeline Island. Lake Superior Chippewa Chief Kechewaishke, aka Great Buffalo, 1759?-1855, is buried in the cemetery.[1][2] Visitors are no longer granted admission into the property. St. Joseph's Church was built nearby in 1838.[1]
