Inscription

This monument was rededicated on June 6, 1982 and stands as a quiet memorial to those Wyandott Indians who made their homes in this area from 1818 to 1842. A memorial headstone to Chief Quoqua, a former tribal leader who lived in this vicinity, is incorporated in the monument.

The City of Wyandotte, Michigan Memorial Park and The Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority joined together in the spirit of cooperation to retain the dignity and historical integrity of the monument.

The monument was relocated to this site to protect it and preserve forever the intent of its founders.
