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

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

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