Flanders Elementary

New York · United States · Cemetery

The school was built over a cemetery, and the cemetery was on older ground still. The account comes from a family living directly behind it.

This school at Malone, New York was built over a cemetery, and the cemetery itself stood on Native ground.

Figures are reported on the playground, and a man uses the boys' lavatory.

The account comes from somebody whose aunt lives directly behind the school, and who found out that both the school and her own house sit on the older ground rather than only the school.

That discovery is the entry. Somebody looked it up, found out what was under their own home, and had to carry on living there.

Malone is in far northern New York, close to the Canadian border and to Akwesasne, Mohawk territory that straddles the line. This was Haudenosaunee country and the burials in it are older than the state.

The school is in use and the houses behind it are private homes.
