I present this in hopes that other people will confirm what I see. I'm at a loss for knowledge of the area since I've never even visited it. I don't know what that little brown Indian Field section is at the bottom. I don't know if the officially designated Indian Field, the location of the DAR monument or a ball park with the name. It is clear, however, that much of Indian Field has already been destroyed by Euroamerican construction. It is a clear sign that Indian Field needs guardians. More on that in my next post.
