Dr. Eric Anderson of Haskell Indian Nations University will relate the history of the early tribes of Kansas. This will be followed by Melissa M. Peterson, Director of Tribal Relations for the University of Kansas, speaking on the subject of land acknowledgments: what they are and why they are important.

The event will also be livestreamed on the Watkins Museum of History’s Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.
