Donating a Native American burial ground -- it s complicated

A Chester County woman wants to donate a Native American burial ground It s a complicated process

A Chester County woman wants to donate a Native American burial ground. It’s a complicated process. Frank Kummer, The Philadelphia Inquirer © DAVID MAIALETTI/The Philadelphia Inquirer/TNS Carol McCloskey (right) and her husband, J.R. Delich (left), look over a plot of land she owns in the Brandywine Valley. An aging metal sign erected by the Chester County Historical Society in 1908 stands partially obscured by a tree along a curvy rural road in tiny Newlin Township to commemorate the Lenape people buried on the knoll just above. Carol McCloskey, 78, has owned that knoll, now dense with woods, since 1987. Now planning her estate, she wants to donate the property, preferably to Native Americans, to ensure its preservation. But finding a good steward for the land has been more complicated than she thought. So far she’s found no takers for her half-acre lot, the only officially recognized Native American burial site in Chester County.
