BROTHERTOWN – The Brothertown Indian Nation’s annual homecoming had something extra to celebrate this year, with a Wisconsin State Historical Society historical marker unveiling at Dick Family Cemetery.

Tribal representatives came together with the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Calumet & Cross Heritage Society, as well as community leaders and members, for the dedication ceremony on Oct. 19 at the small Lakeshore Drive cemetery in the town of Brothertown.

The Dick Family Cemetery is the smallest Brothertown Indian Cemetery in Wisconsin. It holds a private graveyard for the Dick family, who were descended from the Narragansett tribe of Rhode Island, according to Calumet & Cross Heritage Society, a nonprofit organization that collects, preserves and shares the history of the Brothertown Indian Nation.
