The term "Indians" came from the early european "discoverers" of America who thought they they had sailed to Asia and the people were Indians (as in the country India). <br /><br />The tribe that lived in the bay, the Duwamish, buried their dead on the island. The performed tree burials, placing the bodies in boxes and then put the boxes up in trees. On a side note, Native Americans from the great plains (North and South Dakota, Nebraska Wyoming) where there are few trees performed scaffold burials. They wrapped their dead and placed them up in scaffolds.Scott Schuldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220924408624888206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2635978003013442122.post-89882637635366617642009-07-13T01:19:34.932-07:002009-07-13T01:19:34.932-07:00whats indian burial ground mean?whats indian burial ground mean?nsarmilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13554819111366040084noreply@blogger.com
