The last three games of the 2000 season! The first two of those were incredibly exciting as we barely won against Michigan and OSU, two top teams. The last home game was against Indiana, which we won by a large margin! This also secured us a bid to the Rose Bowl in Padadena! Anywho, this picture is after that game when we rushed the field (for a third time). Leave a Comment

Potawatomi "Trail of Death' Route
Indiana to Kansas, September 4 - November 4, 1838
-----------------------------------------------
The 1811 battle of Tippecanoe on this site was decisive, leading to the loss of their nomelands and the removal of Indians from Indiana. At gunpoint, about 850 Potawatomi passed this location on September 12th, 1838 on a 660-mile (1,056 km) trek known as the 'Trail of Death' because so many, mostly children, died along teh way. After two months, about 750 Potawatomi arrived at what is now Osawatomie, Kans., joining those who had gone earlier.
A 26-year old Potawatomi and interpreter on the Traio of Death was nan-wesh-mah. After his father died, he had been adopted by a half-white older cousin, Abraham Burnett, a merchant at Fort Wayne, who had fought on the Indian side at the Battle of Tippecanoe. (Burnett's creek nearby was named for him.) Nan-wesh-mah was given his adopted father's name, was sent to school, and gre up as Abram Burnett.
He farmed near topeka, Kansas and died in 1870. Many Potawatomi were later removed from Kansas to Oklahoma.

Be sure to check out the watchtower in Cairo. Take Salisbury St. North all the way to county farm road. Go north on county farm road past Harrison High School and follow the road past 725 north. Road curves W then curves N. Keep following road and don't blink you eyes until you get to Cairo. Turn Right watchtower on Right.
