Chief Okemos of the Chippewas

Erected to the memory of Chief Okemos of the Chippewas whose tribe once occupied the ground upon which this school now stands. * Brave in battle * Wise in council * * Honorable in peace * After his people became ravaged by disease and dispersed by the incoming white race he still remained a chief, proud that he was once a leader of brave men.
