The Huron Indian Cemetery is a small but historically significant burial ground in downtown Kansas City, Kansas, surrounded entirely by the urban fabric of the city. The Wyandot Nation (then known as the Wyandotte) were relocated here from Ohio in the 1840s and established this cemetery for their community. When pressure mounted in the early 20th century to convert the land to a public park, the tribe sued the federal government and won a Supreme Court case that secured their title in 1906.
The cemetery contains the graves of Wyandot leaders, ordinary community members, and prominent figures of early Kansas history. It is a rare surviving piece of Native American history in the middle of an American city — less than two acres, maintained by the Wyandot Nation, and flanked by parking lots and commercial buildings. A short interpretive walk explains the site's history and significance.
