The White River Town

This boulder marks the traditional site of Wah-Pe-Kah-Me-Kunk
the White River Town of the Muncee Clan of Delaware Indians. It is also a memorial to Joshua, a Christian Indian, who was burned by the tribe, March 1806, a martyr to his faith. In this vicinity the Indians cultivated their maize and corn, and later, it was known as the May Ground where the villagers of Munsee Town gathered for their spring-time frolics.
