The Huron Indian Cemetery, also known as the Wyandot National Burying Ground, is a historic site in Kansas City, Kansas, established in the mid-19th century following the relocation of the Wyandotte Nation from Ohio. It serves as a final resting place for many members of the tribe, with an estimated 400 to 600 bodies buried there, though only a few graves are marked.

Over the years, the cemetery has been the focal point of various legal and preservation disputes, particularly regarding its land use and development. Despite challenges, including vandalism and attempts to exploit the site, the cemetery remains a significant cultural landmark, reflecting the history and resilience of the Wyandotte Nation.
