Canton, South Dakota - A sign warns golfers not to play inside a graveyard where 120 patients of the Canton Asylum for Insane Indians are buried in unmarked graves. Not all inmates of the federal facility, which closed in 1934, were insane. The cemetery is now surrounded by the Hiawatha Golf Course
