How do / did Indians bury their dead?
People are buried in their best clothes? The items were buried with them? There a tombstone? Do people always leave things (trinkets, souvenirs, flowers) on the grave for years after they died? If cemeteries ,….& are sacred, no one should stay there or .. cross … Are they still entitled to be there … As they bury someone? Why not just remember? Everyone is always buried together? Are there cases where Aboriginal tradition pause and give their dead, tombstones?
There are many questions here, and the answer varies from tribe to tribe. Cochise (Apache) would have been simply thrown into a ravine and had rocks dumped on him to keep out marauding animals. Tribes like the Lakota and Blackfoot risen from the dead on the platforms and ceremonies established which prohibit intruders from across the burial site. Crazy Horse famous quote, "My land is where my dead are buried," reflects the intimate connection of the Lakota with their ancestors by the earth. In South America, objects of value were often buried with the dead, and although the Spaniards plundered many of these graves and melted or money from these gold objects "Gentiles," some of the funerary objects have survived and are in museums (Yale Peabody has several, all heavily guarded!). I've never heard of a tombstone Native American before the arrival of Europeans. A gravestone requires a culture that can cut stone. There were some of those in Central and South America, but the Plains Indians of North America were not part them. These people did not even have wheels and Travi used (two lodge poles lashed together, then secured a horse) for transport Merchandise camp (and that was after the Spanish reintroduced horses to North America after the Indians had eaten home the entire domestic supply).
