		<description><![CDATA[This arrowhead-shaped gravestone in the Frances Slocum cemetery is not the only one of its kind I've seen, but the dream catcher behind it and the unique representation of the Christian cross hanging from the top caught my attention. I guess you could say the mixed symbolism in the cemetery is symbolic of the Miami people who live in the area.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I've shown this photo to others I've been asked about the flag -- whether it's some sort of native American symbolism. There is much of that kind of symbolism in this cemetery, but this was a flag that recognized the man's service in the Marion Fire Department.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[June 1. The building is in Miami County, near Peru, on the south side of the Wabash. The sign says &#8220;Poor Farm Country Candies&#8221; but it turns out that this was not the poor farm where James Malcom ended his days.

		<description><![CDATA[The Big Miami Reserve (shown above) was in the shape of a rhombus, almost. If the Wabash River would have run in a straight line between Lagro and Logansport, it would have formed that shape -- a parallelogram with four equal sides. But of course, the Wabash River doesn't run in a straight line (which it would do if it followed the dark blue line on the north edge of the reserve) so it doesn't quite make a regular geometric figure.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first ride on Memorial Day weekend was from Kokomo to Frankfort, Indiana. One point of interest along the way was the boundary of the old Miami Reserve. Google Map shows an old cemetery in the middle of a field near the west boundary -- the "Old Prophet Cemetery."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The near side of the Mississinewa River had been the home of Miami people who had resisted deportation to the west in the 1830s-1850s. They had reserves here through the 1870s, and had lived along the river even after the land had been "allotted," or converted to private property. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Squirrel (aka Niconzah) was a Miami leader who lived in this area in the 1820s and 1830s. The boundaries of this reserve (which is just one in a series of places where he lived) are shown on an old county atlas. Unfortunately, I don't think I can even say that if you look at the tree line in this photo, that you're seeing part of his former reserve.]]></description>
