O Gii Maa Gee Zhi Go Ikwe is buried in a hillside with no marker and the area is not taken care of. There is a well kept cemetery by where she is suppose to be buried by. It is believed that Hole in the Day is also buried in that hill side. Hole in the Day shot and killed O Gii Maa Gee Zhi Go Ikwe's daughter in law's Maria Margaret Fairbanks Beaulieu's brother. It is also rumored that O Gii Maa Gee Zhi Go Ikwe's grandson Colonel Clement Hudon Beaulieu killed Hole in the Day as retaliation but stories are that Hole in the Day's band members killed him. It will never be known who really killed Hole in the Day.
