ONOMINESE CEMETERY
Carolyn Grigereit, left, and Northport Indian Mission United Methodist Church Pastor Wava Hofman place crosses along with members of the Grand Traverse Men's Shed, mission committee from Central United Methodist Church and the Northport Indian Mission United Methodist Church at the Onominese cemetery near Northport on Thursday morning. The Men's Shed, a non-profit social and community service group, restored or rebuilt 161 crosses for the cemetery, which doesn't have records but has graves dating back at least into the 1800s from the Onominese settlement of Ottawa Indians. The Northport Indian United Methodist Church received a grant in 2006 from the Grand Traverse Band of Ottowa and Chippewa Indians to restore the cemetery, which had become neglected.
