A new monument at the Cherokee Nation complex in Tahlequah honors early tribal leaders and was inspired by James Tyner's work to locate the graves of important Cherokees. Tyner, along with his sister, has identified over 1,500 graves of Indians in northeastern Oklahoma and compiled extensive historical records. The monument includes the names of 256 tribal leaders and heroes, and highlights the importance of preserving Cherokee history and honoring those who came before.
