In class we learned that Native American remains were found on the Harpeth Hall campus during construction. I was really shocked to find out this information, especially since we have all walked on the grass outside of the library before. It also made me kind of frustrated that some of the remains are still lost. Also I feel like having a small marker by the remains is a better way to preserve the memory of the Native Americans than having no marker at all and no one knowing about it. It would be good to find out where the rest of the remains and maybe contact the guy who said they were taken to a park. I'm also curious to why no one knows. Obviously there isn't a marker but students could still learn about it in other ways. It also makes sense that there was push back considering most people thought that the remains were taken away. I also thought it was interesting that Harpeth Hall decided to still go on with construction of the track even though some people may have been against it. I'm also excited to find out more about who knows about it. It was funny how the different heads of school all dealt with it differently or remembered slightly different things. Also, I wonder if Harpeth Hall is afraid to make a marker because the information would be more public, and then the school might face more push back.
