Alexander Robinson, also known as Chee Chee Pin Quay, was chief of the Potawatomi, Chippewa, and Ottawa Indians. He died April 22, 1872. His wife Catherine (Chevalier) died August 7, 1860, and they and other members of their family are buried on this spot. This land was part of the reservation granted to him by the Treaty of Prairie Du Chien on July 29, 1829, in gratitude for his aid to the family of John Kinzie and to Capt. and Mrs. Heald at the time of the Fort Dearborn Massacre.
