Alley may cover American Indian site
Alton Telegraph
A Belleville couple who live in Grafton about 50 percent of the time own a home in the 100 block of East Clinton Street and have been maintaining city property on the street and the alley behind their house. While the requesting resident Andrew Jackson did not complain about the property that he and neighbors maintain he requested that the City Council approve vacating 40 feet of Clinton Street’s 100-foot width and the alley behind his house that he also maintains. But Alderman Bobbie Amburg said she suspects that underneath the alley lies a portion of an American Indian campsite which she does not want disturbed. Jackson said Thursday that he did not intend to dig in the alley but when asking for the city to vacate a portion of the street he decided to go ahead and ask for vacation of the alley. He said if the city does not approve the alley vacation that he still intends to mow and maintain it. Amburg voted “no” along with Alderman Steve Hayes in a 4-2 vote at last Tuesday night’s regular City Council meeting against vacating 40 feet of Clinton Street and against laying over the decision on vacating the alley. The area in question sits behind City Hall on Grafton’s Main Street.

Master of ceremonies Ric Bird said the powwow serves as a gathering of people to honor their creator and reconnect with their American Indian heritage while allowing non-Indians a chance to learn more about the different cultures. In addition Bird said people who are lost or looking for healing can find that at a powwow. “There are some things here that have been handed down through generations” he said. “For many this has been an opportunity to teach that so they can never die out. “White Wolf a storyteller and historian spent the powwow doing just that — teaching survival skills and early Florida habitat.
