The United States government guaranteed the protection of the Wyandotte Tribe's Huron Cemetery in a treaty. The treaty was written in 1855. In 1890 the government broke the treaty. The government was going to sell the land to businesses. The government also wanted to remove the bodies from the cemetery. Congress approved the sale of the land in 1906. Conley asked the court to stop the government from selling the land.
