Ojibwa Gravepost. (From Schoolcraft.)

Not many tribes have special posts or marks at the grave. A few do. The

Ojibwa made such with much care. Usually they bore pictures or marks

telling about the dead man. His totem animal was often represented,

usually upside down to indicate that the bearer of the emblem was dead.
