In class on Tuesday we learned about how there were Native
American remains found on our campus. First, they were found in 1987 when they
were building the track, and then they were found in 1992 when they were
building the softball field. I have been at Harpeth Hall since 5th
grade and this really shocked me. I had never heard anything about any Native
American remains here on our campus. I cannot believe that some of the remains
are still here behind the library! I would walk on that grass all of the time.
I understand why Harpeth Hall wanted to keep the news of the uncovered burial
sites very private because there could be a lot of backlash like there was in
1987 when they discovered the first remains. I also think it is very
interesting that they were able to move their remains even though if whites are
buried in a certain place you are not allowed by law to bury them. When I
mentioned all of this to my mom, she told me that she had heard about the
possibility of Native American remains having been discovered here but had
thought it was a myth. I also find it crazy that after discovering more remains
in 1992 no one has any clear recollection of where they have gone.
