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.
