Read More	Constructed in 1926 by the 101 Ranch and the Oklahoma Historical Society, this National Historic Landmark is known as Monument Hill. The reconstructed monument was dedicated in 1927 to Ponca Tribal Chief White Eagle. Once the site of an ancient Indian trail marker which served as one of several guide posts for various tribes traveling during seasonal migration and hunting trips. Each tribe as it passed would leave signals by which others could tell who had passed and which way they were traveling. With the relocation of the Ponça Tribe in 1879 from their former holdings along the Nebraska-Dakota border-area, this site became part of their 50.000 acre reservation. When the Cherokee Strip was opened to settlement in 1893, the property was purchased or leased by the Miller family of the 101 Ranch and became their buffalo pasture and a hay meadow as is today, The area behind the hill became the world famous 101 Ranch's own railroad spur. The original stone cairn was rebuilt using native stone. It is 14 foot high and five feet in diameter and topped with a 200 pound concrete eagle in memory of Chief White Eagle The physical construction of the monument was overseen by the Miller brothers, George, Joe, and Zack along with long time Ranch foreman Sam Stigall. Chief White Eagle isn't buried here but the site became a pauper's cemetery in the early 1930's with the burial of black 101 Ranch cowboy Henry Clay. “Curbstone” Willie an ox wrangler for the 101 Ranch was subsequently buried here followed by Gladys Hamilton the 9 year old daughter of African-American Ranch cowboy Rhyne Hamilton There are a total of eight graves on the hilltop. Celebrated black cowboy, Bill Pickett. performing bulldogger and ranch hand, was buried here in April, 1932. His grave features the only headstone on the hill. His limestone marker was placed here by the Cherokee Strip Cowpunchers Association at Bill's passing. Chief White Eagle is buried at the Ponca Tribal Cemetery a few miles NE of this location.
