Wasatch County locals are invited to gather at the Heber City Cemetery Saturday for a dedication ceremony honoring Chief Tabby-To-Kwanah and his son Tom Tabby.
Chief Tabby was a leader in the Timpanogos Nation who is remembered in local history as a man who helped negotiate peace treaties with Latter-day Saints in the 1860s.
Tom Tabby died in a hunting accident at the age of 12 and was buried in the Heber City Cemetery.
Saturday’s ceremony, hosted by the Wasatch Community Foundation and the Sons of the Utah Pioneers, will unveil a newly installed monument, statue and historical plaque at Tom Tabby’s burial site.
It will include Native American singers and a flute performance.
The free event begins at 1 p.m.
