Unmarked graves of American Indian children have been discovered in Oregon along with markers with Anglicized names like 'Daniel Boone,' making it impossible for families to locate loved ones by given indigenous names

• Marsha Small, a doctoral student, tells DailyMail.com she discovered 222 sets of child remains at the Chemawa Cemetery north of Salem, Oregon
• The graves that had markers showed Anglicized names rather than the children's true indigenous names
• DailyMail.com went to the cemetery and saw several grave markers with 'Anglo' sounding names like, Daniel, Benny, George, Rosie and James 
• 'Obviously a native isn't going to be named Daniel Boone, so how would one start to look for their ancestors if the names are incorrect?' Small said 
• 'It was an atrocity for the United States to take away these children's native names so their parents and ancestors could never find them,' Small added
• She said there could well be several unmarked indigenous bodies buried there
• The Chemawa School opened in 1880 originally as an elementary school for both boys and girls, becoming a fully accredited high school in 1927  
• Today the school is open for 9-12 graders and has approximately 425 students, primarily from the tribes of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska

The tale told by tiny coffins is bad enough. The tales they can't tell are worse.

Wow......

They say a picture says a thousand words. Wow.

And we should remember, what we are seeing today is only fraction of what really went on.
