Discussing the importance of proper gravesites across Indian cultures, Alfred Jacob Miller wrote, "The modes of burial are various, each tribe differing from another...The ordinary burial is a mound with a Buffalo skull (fit emblem of mortality) placed upon it. The Indians make their stated pilgrimages to these spots, sit down quietly, and seem to commune with the inmate." (as quoted in M. Ross, The West of Alfred Jacob Miller, Norman, Oklahoma, 1951, p. 191)
