USA: Native American cemetery.Something find graves in the forest after trekking for me becoming a good tradition. But if in the case of the "Lake of Angels" I'm all about the grave knew in advance and specifically looking for it (this buzzed every guide that describes the track), then back under the gray evening sky with green mountains , I was not expecting anything. Even then, especially searching the internet I could not find almost any description or reference, except for a few old articles of 2003.

The fact is that the vast mudslides with Ice volcano destroyed there a country road, making for 11 years access to this part of the forest is very heavy, requiring 70-kilometer walk rendition that I even once did in the 2010th. Article discusses the repair of the road, the fact that there are no human settlements, and repair after a landslide is very expensive, and many believed that the state should save money and do not repair this road will never, no matter if some Indians who somewhere out there in the woods there are some Indian burial ground (several?), because of what you want about a million dollars from the Feds for repairs.

Late last fall, the road into the woods, finally repaired. And late in the evening, returning to the dark and mossy forest along the river, I happened to notice an unsigned and overgrown trails with lapel, went on it just a little bit and came across an open meadow with a cemetery. At this time, once again in a jeep with all the broken glasses went in the opposite direction through the woods someone (Indian?), I waited a little in the shade to keep out of sight, and then went to the empty and tranquil mossy glade in the woods.

I love these places.

All three rows of graves from the very old to the very fresh. It seems that it's all on the public lands of the forest, of course, I know that thirty miles there is a small Indian reservation, but here their land did not seem to reach.

Tribe, which is now called Sauk-Suiattle once used to be called Sah-Ku-Meh-Hu. This name is easily seen on the captions to the oldest gravestones. Neither birthdays, sometimes no's, no names on the old graves, simply "Unknown." And if there are names, the only Christian.These two rows of graves - graves of the most dramatic period of Indian history, the arrival of white settlers. Tribe, a nation with its own language and unique culture, people, whose country was still a huge forest in north-western foot of the mountains, there were more than 4 thousand people. By the 1924th year due to diseases and conflicts of them survived only 18.

The grave of the last series, the newest show signs of some Indian revival. By Christian name in large letters add finely signatures with traditional Native American names, someone was lucky to get a cross instead of a wooden totem pole, though still close to the stone (Christianity to the Indians buried their dead, not in the ground and inside the totem poles).

Four-plus years ago, the deceased leader trump got myself a place in the center of the clearing, as if even in death he was not fired from the main work.

Somehow, near the graves many broken cups and bottles and trash like chewing tobacco. At the grave of a child angels, eagles and Smurfs.Football also earned her an honorary flag on his grave.

Next to the traditional symbols of Native American culture, with eagles, salmon, whales, bears and deer, one can find the grave, and guitar and motorcycle. And here in this seemingly eclectic, which never meet in false romanticized stories of Indian movies and books, and there is only the real truth, harmony and beauty of this strange and unnatural thing called man.

To date, in the joint tribe on the reservation 30 miles from the cemetery about 200 lives from people.
