The heritage value of the Moberly-Plante cemetery comes from its association with early non status Indians from the Jasper area. The Moberly-Plante families resting at this site had a significant role in the settling of the Jasper, Alberta region. They descend from the Iroquois who come from the Caunawagy to work with the North West Company in 1805. They have ties to the Jasper area that date back to the early 1800's. The location of the cemetery also contributes to its heritage value as the site represents the relocation of these early non status Indians outside of the Jasper Park boundaries after the creation of the park in 1907.
