About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Yellow Smoke is a small cemetery accessible only by a rough vehicle trail through the trees and fields. It is named for Shudenzi "Yellow Smoke" who was the last keeper of the Sacred Pole. The Sacred Pole was an ancient ceremonial object made of cottonwood and was very important to the Omaha tribe. It is located .7 tenths of a mile north of the Thurston/Burt county line on highway 75 north of Decatur. Its entrance is a narrow entrance into the trees and easily missed, there is no sign. The trail winds far back into the bluffs where the cemetery sits on the top of a hill and the view is beautiful. It is in the area known as Blackbird Bend. Do not attempt to enter when it is wet, and use of a pickup is recommended.
