North Side High School
Indiana · United States · School
A Miami chief who tried to stop the city building on his people's burial ground is the first of several presences described at this Fort Wayne school.
North Side High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana is associated with several presences.
The first is a chief of the Miami, who according to local account tried to prevent the city from building on the tribe's burial ground. The school's mascot was named in his honour, which is a decision that reads very differently now than it did when it was made, and Native mascots have been retired across Indiana for good reason.
What is worth saying plainly is that Fort Wayne stands on Miami land, that Miami burial grounds were built over across this part of Indiana, and that this part of the story is history rather than legend.
The second figure is a teenage girl, seen in the gym and on the indoor running track, most often in the morning before school starts.
The third is a caretaker who died of a heart attack, reported in the basement where it happened.
