Indian Burial Place of Great Eagle Township of Ackley, Langlade County,
Wisconsin
From a statement to the Antigo Daily Journal:
"Charles Ackley, first white baby born in Langlade
County, who was the grandson of Chief Great Eagle, stated that Great Eagle
(White Thunderbird) was buried near the curve of the river below the Ackley
cabin. Several years ago, on account of the wearing away of the bank near
Highway 64, it became necessary to relocate the road. Charles Ackley heard
that when this was done that some human bones were found and reburied,
but he does not know where. He believes that they were the bones of his
grandfather, Great Eagle."
