A cousin of mine is working on a wonderful new web site dedicated to Santee cemeteries. The listings of burials on this site are more complete than the grave marker transcriptions which have been available to us in the past. The info here is taken from the Cemetery Board records, so there are listings for some folks who rest in unmarked graves. Yvonne needs help in a couple of areas- 1. Documenting burials off the rez. 2. Cemetery history. 3. Funeral and memorial info. I'm sure she would appreciate any help you might provide, or just pay her a visit and check out this awesome site. santeecemetery.com/default.aspx

Vicky, What a wonderful site!! My grandfather came to the Pine Ridge reservation with 20 young Santee men with the Rev. Amos Ross and most of them are buried over here. I can't wait to get my information and photos online! I hope to help them all I can.l

How kind of you Wanbliho! I found a few ancestors listed here who don't have markers, so it was the first I had learned of their burial info. Thanks to you and to all who will help complete this site.
