Wyandotte Widow Seeks $7000 Over Ferry Rights
The State Journal reports Wyandotte Indian Mary Walker is seeking $7,000 to reimburse property she says her late husband Isaiah Walker and the Wyandotte nation were deprived of. The ferry rights and four acres across the Kansas river were bought for $7,000, but subsequent court actions and a charter fallout left the purchase seemingly valueless to the Walker heirs.
