The Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians will meet with the U.S. Army next week to discuss a historic cemetery where Native Americans and Native Hawaiians are buried.

The cemetery is within the Fort Vancouver National Historic Reserve, part of the National Park Service, but the land where the graves are located is owned by the Army. About 200 people are buried there, including Natives, Hawaiians, French Canadians and Europeans.

Some remains have been accidentally uncovered and reintered but ANTI wants to make sure no more graves are disturbed. The cemetery was used by the Hudson's Bay Company between 1829 and 1855.
