MOCCASIN BLUFF CEMETERY
(Buchanan Township)
Michigan USA

From the “History of Berrien and Van Buren Counties, Michigan”:
The territory of the township of Buchanan was partly included in the tribal reservation on which the Pottowatomie tribe lived during the last years of their residence.  Moccasin Bluff, situated a short distance below the village of Buchanan, is well known as the site of one of the Indian villages, and numerous burial places along the river have been found.”
