The current Haines Airport is on the banks of the Chilkat River, across the Highway from where the old villiage once stood. The cemetery is fairly large, and very visible to highway traffic. The cemetary has been found to extend up the mountain as well as farther than it was currently thought. Elizabeth Peratrovich, of the Lukaaxadi Clan (Yandeist'akye'), well known for her involvement in the Native Rights Movement, was born there. There are many photographs in the Sheldon Museum Collection that show how life was at the Yaneist'akye' villiage. Currently this cemetary is under restoration under a grant. Hopefully this will help to preserve the history of these people for their decendants. ========================================================================================================================================================= LAST NAME FIRST NAME BIRTH DEATH INSCRIPTION/NOTES TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES ========================================================================================================================================================= Cook Mrs. Sam Died Feb. 1912 Aged 75 years, For ever with the LORD ========================================================================================================================================================= LAST NAME FIRST NAME BIRTH DEATH INSCRIPTION/NOTES TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES ========================================================================================================================================================= James Mrs Mary Died Mar. 18 1916 Mrs. Mary James, Eaddy Kasko, Chaster Joe on same stone Joe Chaster Died Aug. 15 1913 Mrs. Mary James, Eaddy Kasko, Chaster Joe on same stone ========================================================================================================================================================= LAST NAME FIRST NAME BIRTH DEATH INSCRIPTION/NOTES TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES ========================================================================================================================================================= Kasko Eaddy Died Aug. 13 1913 Mrs. Mary James, Eaddy Kasko, Chaster Joe on same stone Klanott David Died Jan. 22 1935
