Indianola, Nebraska
I try to stop at Historical Markers along
the road if I get enough warning in advance they are coming up and that there
is a place to get off the road safely. This
is an interesting story.
Consider that she is a complete unknown
and of a very few Indians to receive such respect for 136 years on.

The marker made at the time is difficult
to make out but it reads:
Pawnee Squaw
Wounded by indian arrow and left for dead
in battle between Sioux and Pawnee at Massacre Canyon
Coon Creek was just a quarter mile on
down the road and I didn’t think of taking a picture of it until well past.
On a more uplifting note, here is a
mailbox in John Deere colors just outside of Orleans , Nebraska

i LOVE the corn mailbox!!!
Thanks for sharing this one.
It is sad that the Indian people also battled their fellow Indian tribes. All those wars everytime, everywhere, will it ever stop?
